The "Ok" Button

There are times in our lives that we find ourselves in situations that the only thing we could do is to just accept things the way they are. It's like when a pop-up window appears in your computer monitor with only the "Ok" button activated. You've got no choice but to click it for you to go to another process and continue with your task. Not even the "Cancel" button is present. Unfair it may seem, but that's probably how life works. The more we deny that idea, the heavier the situation gets and the harder it is for us to get going.

Some people would say that the reason why things happen would eventually be revealed to us. On when it will be uncovered, we can't tell. Sometimes I'm skeptical about this idea. I'm thinking that people just try to look for a consolation prize to lessen the negative effect of the situation. I look at it as some sort of defense mechanism. We can’t blame anyone for this. If thinking that way would help us cope up faster with the situation, then maybe that’s a good thing to do. Just maybe.

Whether we have a choice or not, the best thing to do is to learn how to accept things. Easier said than done, I know. And I can't even claim that I'm good at it. It's still a struggle for me up to this point. But who knows, maybe one day I'll wake up and realize that whatever has happened, is happening and will happen, are pieces of the puzzle that in due course will be complete. And by then a clear picture will finally be painted.
