I think it is probably that life is too big a picture to get in focus. Something rotten could have happened 10 years ago that leads to you standing in the right place next week or simply left you not standing in the worst possible place last week. I think it is also trail by fire, there are lessons that have to be learned the hard way. I think some of it is karmic retribution. I think there is a course plan designed specifically for you this time around.
I had a conversation just last week on this subject. I was wondering why I have been wrongly accused, even framed, an inordinate amount of times in this life.I know I sound like the only innocent guy in cell block A, but, really it is something that has followed me and it is something that has REALLY bothered me. Damned if I know why. I am pretty sure it has something to do with Faith and the lion's den. - Daniel
