Do you even wonder why trouble follows some individuals? By trouble I mean angst, misfortune, etc. These individuals are not bad people, on the contrary, most of them are wonderful and caring, often smart and/or brilliant, but it seems that trouble is firmly attached to their backsides and won't let go.
Again, I ask why?
Is it from lack of planning, lack of innate 'smarts', laziness, ego, ineptitude, disorganization or all of the aforementioned? Is their karma out of order?
This phenomenon of constant misfortune fascinates me. Sure, we all have our bouts of misfortune from time to time but those life-wrinkles eventually smooth out and we are on our way, once again, for a relatively bump-free ride for however long we can master and muster. We know that there are no guarantees in life and more Jonah-like experiences will come along.
So why do some people spend most of their lives in the belly of the whale?
I have no answers and, perhaps, there are no answers to life's perplexing problems. This will continue to keep the philosophers busy for more centuries as well as me. There is no shortage of mental, emotional, and spiritual food for thought.
As this blog's title implies, still I am learning.
