Impossible.
Let’s just accept the fact that some things cannot be achieved, even if we did our best. No matter how we try to make things favorable for us, it won’t work. Some things lie beyond our control, for we live in a world far from the ideal state.
I tried my best to get a whopping 1.0 in Math 17. Because I don’t do very well with numbers, I listened to the lectures while taking notes. Moreover, I tried answering the problem sets given by my professor. I even consulted him at some point. But yeah, getting a 1.0 is impossible due to my nature.
When we get something that seems impossible, we answer outright that it’s destined to happen. Filipinos have been believers of destiny. I don’t know, but sometimes this has been a cause of indolence. We expect something from virtually nothing, thus proliferating the Juan Tamad identity labeled to us.
Recently, the concept of destiny has lost its appeal to me. Although I must say that I’ve gotten a lot of lucky shots, those things were insufficient to prove that everything in my life is destined, even the people we meet as we lengthen our stay. We make our own lives. We write our respective stories. Whatever we have at hand now, it’s because of everything we did in the past.
I really don’t know why people keep on believing in destiny. For me, it should not be the practice.
Then something happened, something you never imagined or, at the very least, you imagined but its possibility never crossed your mind.
