The Irony of Life: The Mix of Chances, Choices and Consequences


Some people are just hell bent on getting married, while some are looking for a way out of marriage.

Finding love is a product of chance, staying in it is a crucial choice and there is the attending consequence of peace or heart break based on ones choice.

Some have many children and wish they could just reverse the situation,  while some just want to have children by all means. The ones that have one want to have more.

Some have 'all' the money and they wished they had enjoyed every moment on the way to financial success while some are breaking their back to make financials success.

Some have a job they don't like despite breaking their back to get the job. Someone without a job is of the believe that he would be in paradise if given that same job.

In all life situations, three things separate us from one another.

1. The chances we had or have.

2. The choices we make in the chances we have.
and
3. The attending consequences of our choices. 

Nobody has everything in life but those who maximise their chances by making crucial choice even when not convenient always end up the happiest and successful. 

Combining happiness and success is a rare feat and having one or both is a consequence of the choices we make from our chances.

The writer summed it up in the last verse that we can do better and those who have gone ahead of us are waiting and urging us to surpass those feats. They will be ridiculed if we cannot surpass them. They would be incomplete if we shrink in comparison to their achievements.  History does not limit us in any form and does not want us to shrink at all from such exploit. All history is about is for us to leverage on those feats and stand on the shoulders of those heroes to see further. History be...
