Of destiny, and reconciliation....

Sometimes, Fate does play some very unfair tricks.....

I was fortunate enough to witness some tough times pass by without much bother, for one of my best friends, because of some very very strong ties of friendship that existed between our group of friends..Alhamdulillah, Allah Be Praised...

The following passages followed after long discussions between some great buddies who have seen quite a great deal of good and bad times together for years, with a great friend of ours,, who had just been through some very tough times and came out of it all quite well in fact, determined to get on with life....Great buddies of his made a collective effort to pull him out, because of the strong ties of friendship that existed between them, for he himself was known to be the 'symbol' of friendship, and an undying testament to it...


"Destiny, they say, is Unavoidable".

" When Fate strikes us down with that harsh blow , and we stumbling ,fall, then recover swiftly enough to keep calm , move on and live to tell the tale to our own self later, and to those friends of ours whom to us ,have mattered a great deal , in a matter of fact, yet spirited & far wiser way
& calmness of mind than ever before, rejoicing in and enjoying those tough & energy sapping, emotionally draining experiences of life, As yet another milestone crossed in an eventful journey, with a casual shrug of the shoulders - thats reconciling yourself with your destiny ".

Re- living those memories again at your own leisure , of just how hard you have had to struggle to come out of it all, without much further losses - knowing all the while that you have somehow succeeded in keeping your wits about you, and just about managed to keep yourself and your heart and soul still joyfully alive , when things could just as easily have been far worse ....
Those..are events in Life that are truly worth celebrating....4 those stages will not come again in life ,for those who have always followed the path of wisdom & understanding through troubled times. Truly, thats the hallmark of true courage & great character.

Footnote:
All praise be to the Lord Almighty. I do not wish to name the person concerned here, as he doesn't wish to be named in this way . We as friends of his, are all relieved to see that he's doing splendidly well in a matter of a few days only...he has proved that he had the character and courage to withstand such setbacks so swiftly...All the while, i am thankful to know that he shared with us all his bitter experiences, so that we too could avoid such twists n turns in life in the future, and also thankful to the Lord Almighty that others of us were not tested with such a bitter experience in Life...On behalf of friends, wishing him well once again in life....
