Have you ever looked at life and wondered why things happen as they do?
"Why?" is one of life's great mysteries.
Why did you get fired from your job, or why were you betrayed by someone you thought was a friend, or why did you lose a loved one so unexpectantly, or why this, or why that?
Some things never seem to make sense. They never seem to have a reason. But then maybe you don't see the whole picture.
You don't see that there's probably a better job out there with your name on it.
You don't see that through the hurt of being betrayed by a lifelong "friend", you'll learn what real loyalty is all about. And the hurtful experience will mold you into a person of honor. A person of character. A person of kindness.
You don't see that someday you'll be the person who encourages, nurtures, and cries with somebody who has lost a loved one.
No, life doesn't seem to make sense at the time we actually go through tests, trials and tribulations. But hopefully, someday, we'll see why it all took place.
The next time you face some unpleasant event in life just remember, somewhere it all adds up.

I thought this was very interesting and very true indeed.
