we go through life passing by a constant path , we get lucky sometimes so we smile , and start thinking we must have been wonderful to deserve what we got , of all the talents we have , of our good karma and intentions , of our purose in this world we think , and a sense of a relief embraces us , then a bump appear in our road and things start to get rough , sometimes even unfair , hard and dissapointing , we get shocked , we feal puzzled and start trying to explain to ourselves why did it all happen , sometimes by balming others for our misery and sometimes by blaming ourselves, we even start questioning gods methods in ruling his universe , trying to find the hidden wisdom behind every misfortune , and usually we fail , either by finding a wrong answer or finding non at all ,and i asked my self a question, i asked my self who in my opinion was the luckiest man i knew , and i found myself saying forrest gump , my reasons were simple , here was a young man with simple mind and no charm at all , not intentionally at least ,yet managed to be a millionare, marry the love of his life, inspire millions, have a child , raise him well and make his family and country proud, and then i asked myself , what was special about forrest gump ? what made him that happy in life ? was it extra luck ? was it blessings that we didnt have , was it talent ? but when i though about it i found out that this character had almost the same amount of fortune and misfortune that every and each one of us had , the only difference between us and him is that he never questioned anything , good or bad , when he knew he was not smart enough to get into school he didnt ask why was he mad this way , and when again he did get accepted he didnt ask why now , and didnt make himself misserable by the thought that his mothers (persuation )powers got him there,
when again he was kicked out he didnt ask what was the point
when he fell in love he enjoyed it though it was a one side thing and every thing showed it wont work , he didnt torture himself with jealousy or anger or frustration , his shrimp bussiness succeded but after a series of failures , he won a medal of honor but he lost his best friend , he became a world champion but his mother died , he had a loving mother but never knew his father
like every one of us he had his ups and downs , he just took the downs simply and enjoyed the ups without questioning ...
i know many of you think that he managed to do so because he was an idiot , but that is not true ,
it is not that he was not capable of questioning his surroundings , it is the fact that he didnt question them because everyone kept saying he was an idoit so whenever something bad happened he thought there must be a reason i cant understand ,
and the truth is life is not completely under our control , we only control a very small portion of life which is our role
any event that happens depends on our actions plus the actions of every single person involved then the intervention of destiny , and we cannot understand nor expect the actions of others cause they depend on differnet principles and backgrounds nor can we understand destiny cause its beyound our degree of intelligence
we live in a path , and the only role we have in this path is to keep running , no questions asked
the only difference between us and forrest is that he knew he was an idoit we didnt
