Some people believe in fate. I don't. I really believe that everything in life has a purpose, but I don't agree that every little thing that happens to you - or even yet every little decision you make - is pre-scripted and set in stone before it occurs. I liken God to a Dealer in a casino. He sure as hell controls the game, but the deck isn't fixed and he has no stake in your fortune. Life is pretty similar to gambling: if you make a crappy decision, you're going to lose. The Dealer didn't make you choose poorly, you made your own choices. Furthermore the Dealer usually doesn't mind when you win, in fact it makes His job more enjoyable when He's got a table full of winners. And most importantly, just like any gamble - because every day, life really is a gamble - sometimes no matter what you do, and no matter how much the Dealer really wants you to win, you get dealt a shitty hand with which you just can't win. That's life.
I'm praying for a friend today, and these were the thoughts that came to me. I'm really sorry, my friend.
