Being a part of this gigantic system, it’s not easy to tune in with the rest with each of us having our own agenda. Yes, everyone has an ideal picture on how things should be. The bad news is the ideal picture is varied from one to another meanwhile we only have one world to live together means little chance the world can accommodate our agenda.

If we observe it a little bit further, the world is a system that works collectively with each variable being intertwined to other variables, with things rarely shapeshifting independently. creating a confusing and intriguing phenomenon that the human brain is incapable of comprehending.

Sometimes the force of certain variables is strong enough to make another variable vibration seem irrelevant, forcing things that connected to them to follow the magnitude it created. on most occasions we often find ourselves only being a speck of dust with minor influence and forced to follow the waves.

In some occasion you may feel you have drained all you have trying to make some vibration and knock the system only to find yourself being knocked down. Despite what happened, you don’t have to punish yourself for it. Some powers are just massive enough to overcome and it was never your fault to see yourself being incapable to never beat anything out of them.

Maybe what our preacher said was right, this grand scheme of things is predetermined and we have no power to change things since we are only insignificant matter in this major celestial sphere. Perhaps in our short presence on earth we are only playing our roles in waiting for things to happen as it was destined to be. To be helpless like leaves waiting to be blown away by the wind and to fall to the exact coordinate as it was destined to be.

Through this small notes perhaps it’s a sign for us to never force anything, to play our roles and fulfill our duty, and then accept wherever life brings us to anywhere we belong and see it purely as it is without any judgment and negative sentiment.

Maybe being a fatalist isn’t a bad idea at all, and to accept fate doesn’t mean to sit still waiting for things to happen but to do your duty to follow your callings, to do things that you are meant to do without putting any expectation towards the future on how it should be. Again, because everything is already predetermined, and we are only marching slowly towards the place where we belong.
