Bumps in the road are an inevitable part of life that sometimes soften us or give us an opportunity for growth, and bestow upon us the virtue of compassion.
So often we wonder about why things happen?
Why now?
Often it is only with the passing of time that it becomes clear that the cloud really did have a silver lining, and now we have wisdom, strength and hope to share.
If the adage, “everything really happens for a reason,” doesn’t provide enough rationalisation for you, look for other ways to overcome adversity.
A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

Agreed on all counts. Everything happens for a reason and it can be seen once we have a proper perspective. 🙂
Your post really resonates with me today. I do believe that there is a meaning to things that happen, even if you cannot see it at the moment. You will in time. ❤
Thanks, Suvi. I am happy that these words have meaninf or comfort for you. Sometimes, it is hard to see sense in the very worst of things in the world. The world isn’t always logical and that us when we must delve deeper into iyr expectations. Are they somewhat unrealistic?

Proper perspective yes. And if the perspective you use isn’t working, it might be time to try employing a different perspective, hey Marlene?
