I just finished reading a newspaper article on a story of a couple that got married after a four-month 'telephone' relationship. They saw once before any sparks even ignited, and that was just a five-minute hasty meeting. Then the relationship grew over the phone in that four months. When they decided to meet, they tied the knot. In just four months.
Who would have guessed that a marriage could be done in such haste. Who could have imagined what lies ahead unless you miraculously dreamt of it. Life is extremely uncertain. But it is full of surprises. Whether they are good or bad, we will have to face them and savour them. Who would have expected that the above couple who knew each other for four months are now happily married with a beautiful 2 year-old son. Who would have guessed that the man that you were engaged with for 2 years finally decided to leave you. Who would have guessed that the wife you adored decided to fall for another guy? Who would have guessed that the awaited baby for nine months just had to die immediately after birth...
No one would have guessed any of that. We take life as it comes. But we should always be ready of any trials and tribulations that might hit us hard suddenly. Unknowingly. And when hit low, we should stand up tall again. Afterall, this life is not the end of everything. It is just a start of an investment of how we would be like in the life hereafter.
