Life is a mystery
Life always has it's ways of guiding us, the reason life cannot predict the future is because, when we walk on a beach and we leave our footsteps behind, and as we continue walking the water washes our footsteps away as it goes and comes, because such is the nature of the ocean, it also cleanses itself. That is why you can be walking on the beach and you will probably find a coconut which has already rotted due to the constant push and pull of the waves. This coconut has travelled far from probably another part of the world, it has been to the depths of the ocean and it has gone through so much just to wash itself over the shore which you see as you walk by this beach. When you see a coconut, a rotten coconut, the first thing that comes to your mind is that probably someone was sitting by beach and was sipping up coconut water and the person might have just polluted the sea with the coconut, and it was probably just nearby before it washed itself over to you. Whenever we walk, our footsteps on the beach get washed away and disappear, but we don't really care about those footsteps, because it is of no value to us. We are not losing anything, it's just your foots design carved on the sand temporarily for hardly five seconds, after that it's washed away. Same is our life, where when you meet a person you think that you will just befriend them and get to know them, then you realize that this person was just a rotten coconut like you, this person went through so much, he or she drowned and drowned again, the only difference is this person drowned with a beating heart and it survived it swum up to the top of the ocean until it could see the sun, this person rose from all of the waves pushing and pulling it away from drowning again. But this person chose to ignore the fears, because it got so used to the waves attitude metaphorically that it learnt how to overcome it, it learnt how to endure the drowning from the waves, it learnt that drowning until the ocean floor led it to discover it's true self. It was not surrounded by anyone or anything but water. If you let the water sink you, it will, but if you have hope in not drowning, you won't drown, you'll fight until you reach the top of the water and you will use the sun as your guide to see where you are headed to. Same thing in life, people complain of depression, people complain of their future while they cannot be grateful for having a good present life, they aim for the future and that is why they do not see what they have to do, in order to gain a good future. Planning for the future is good. But...
