We can all confirm that things happen and in that very moment they become something else; as the saying goes 'time and tide wait for no-one'.
When our perception is tuned in then very often we can see things coming, in fact we can prevent them happening. Very often this perception is restricted to other people's problems, ( rather than our own ) and much as we may give advice, the disaster happens!
But don't worry! The disaster can be the opportunity too.
In what ever way, at whatever time, and for whatever 'reason' things happen; when for example we get ill or we feel disappointed, then there is a tendency for those of us living a 'comfortable lifestyle' to lose the distinction between necessity and desire.
We like 'nice'.
We get 'trouble!'.
If every moment is not predetermined by genetics, god, past lives or whatever, then what?
If self-correction is a reality, then as far as self-learning is concerned can we use opportunity or disaster? Both of course, but which is the most available? Which has a greater chance of a minimum effort for a maximum result?
We have been so over-trained to work hard for what is 'good', that when 'bad' occurs we think it is 'unfair'. How ridiculous!
