something about Murphy’s law

[donq]

It’s said that ,“You can become strongest in your weakest place.”
Hmm…maybe it’s true but I never liked it whenever that time came.

There’s something called “Murphy’s law” It states that “Things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance.”

Have you ever experienced something like this: you were in a hurry to meet someone about a very important meeting. Suddenly it rained like there was no tomorrow and the very taxi you were taking got a flat tire. It still had time, and when you decided to leave that taxi and walked/ran as fast as you could to the meeting place, you just realized that you forgot to bring your umbrella which you always did during this rainy season!

What would you do in that kind of situation?

I still don’t know the right answer, though it happened many times to me. But it suffices to say that trying to calm myself down is a must. And every time after I could do that, more or less, there was always a way out, a good one. Even I might really miss that important meeting but at least I was calm enough to explain my situation and they could understand. Or even they could not, I still was clam enough to forgive myself and “face” and embrace any consequences. Because, at least (or maybe the most important), I could tell myself that I already did my best and could not do anything more than that to change its outcome.

Maybe it’s very true as Abraham Joshua Heschel said, “The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments.”

out of topic here.

my dear moderator (s),

I could not start a thread on spiritual question forum, don't know why.
Just inform you.

Thank you.

As far as I know Monty, there is no reason why you were not able to post. If you look back you will see, spiritual questions can be posted by any member, it's not moderators only.

The only thing I can think of, is that it was playing up. Keep trying. If you still experience problems, send me a message telling me what the question is, and I will post it for you, and make it clear, it is Your question.

Love and light
Kaz

Hi Kaz,

Hahaha, no, no, no. Do not frown, please. I just meant that I could not post there that time today. I tried to post (this starting thread) there 2-3 times and got the message like “oops!...” (could not recall it exact sentence.) And I had to sign in again a few times. I worried that it might has something to do with technical error here or problem about my internet (today mine was so slow.) But I could improvise and post it here instead.

P.S. I've just tried to test/post (create a new thread) there, and now it's ok.
Sorry.

No worries Monty.. just glad it's working again for you.

Thanks, Kaz, for asking me. And that gave me a chance to explain. This really showed a trust between friends when something went wrong.
With the hindsight, I just realized that the question I raised was really easy to misunderstanding, indeed.
And Murphy’s law almost worked here.
