Destiny and My Path of Life

Once, Destiny, I got in the act of retracing the Path of my life, Noticing how difficult my path was, strongly I Protested, So, my, angry voice I raised, asking her aloud: “Why are you doing that to me, when you see there are easier ways that my life could pass through, without much suffering and pain?” Calmly, Destiny turned towards me and patiently explained: “The path for which yourself so intensely are complaining, especially, for you has been designed. The reason is to prepare you, successful to be in the mission your soul has been entrusted with, otherwise, you will not able, the divine plan to help at all to come to its fruition, as our Lord, has planned, since the moment of creation!" © Demetrios Trifiatis 29 May 2016

It is amazing to consider His plans for us were layed out prior to our conception. Sha God give us the strength and resolve to carry out his plans for us.

I sense Master Yoda in these tones,is that type of language intentional in use?I mean lines like "able you will be not" "free will you be" point to that direction.Anyway, the theme of the poem and its content shows how virtuous a man you are.Deep respect. my deepest respect and gratitude,Sir. Walk in beauty, change the world.

When one gets comments like this, it is like finding a treasure because he sees a soul reacting to the light from within the commentator that radiates divine beauty! No, my writing is not unintentional! Virtue, as Plato said" Worth all the gold that is found on earth and within the ground of it! Being in philosophy I try to honor my teacher! I ignore though how successful I am. As far as changing the world it is not in my hands but to the hands of Him who has sent all of us! Thank you so much noble, Miraj!

True, my friend, Anne-Lise! Certainly destiny has its reasons that our mind doesn't understand! Thank you so much for your tender visit! Today I was away!
