My opinion.....

Everything happens for a reason, and your choice is that reason.

If you want to blame someone, look to yourself first, you will usually be right.

Things that happen without choice, are nature.

We can't not like nature, well, we can but it is counter-productive.

So I say things that happen due to nature, must be natural, and play the cards you've been dealt.

All I know is that in the end of my life, I can't control what nature has done to me, but I can reflect on my ability to make good choices when choices were forced to be made. If I can die happy with my choices, I can die happy. That is what is important to me, much more than success, love, reproduction, mans plight or anything else.

If I can look in the mirror and look in my own eyes, and say I did the best I can and MEAN it, and KNOW IT, than what the hell else can anyone ask for, except the power to have that ability?
