Fate’s Humor

It’s funny how fate works.

You try so hard to understand it and yet, the minute you tell yourself you finally do, something happens to prove you wrong.

When you struggle against it, it’ll make you wish you just gave in. When you finally decide to embrace it, it’ll make you wish you just went on struggling.

If you don’t believe in it, something completely illogical and unexplainable happens so that you start to. The moment you’ve become a believer, something truly incredulous and dubious comes about and turns you skeptical.

Argh…

Last night, I have decided to just give in to it. There are reasons why things happen and if those reasons don’t want to be recognized, then fine with me. I’d stop trying to understand. I’d stop thinking. I’d just go with the flow. The hell with everything else.

This morning, I woke up ready to face the day ahead and accept whatever fate has in store for me. I was ready. Really. I have pushed it long enough already. And it wasn’t doing me any good. But as ready as I was, it snubbed me. Just like that.

Funny. Amazingly, incredibly, bizarrely hilarious.

But who’s laughing?
