" FORTUNE " MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: plant, flower, nature and outdoor

Fortune, Whether good or bad, doesn't discriminate between: The poor and the rich, The powerful and the weak, The young and the old For Like an infatuated maiden Comes and goes as she pleases, Without ever giving any warnings or offering any explanations and feeling no regrets As She knows very well that in a cyclical world of becoming Nothing is permanent Thus What appears today as a good fortune May lead to the greatest misfortune tomorrow and... Vice versa! © Demetrios Trifiatis 29 April 2019

I have a friend who had the good fortune of winning an e-bike and the first day he rode it he hit a pot hole, fell of the bike and broke his foot. That was bad fortune. It seems you are right the two coexist.

Unfortunately I am right my friend, Richard! I know a worst case with a motorbike that someone won and next day he had a fatal accident! Thank you for your visit and comment my friend!
