It may be a cliché but really, we often see life as a mystery. No-one knows what the future holds in store for us.

Try as we might to find answers to our questions regarding life and the future, clarity appears veiled.

Some may consult seers. Some even turn to stars for answers. Some try to divine the future by tasseography or tea-leaf reading.

But, life remains a mystery. The whys are unfathomable, with questions lingering like an unwanted pimple.

Questions like, why did I not get the job despite my qualifications or, why did my business run aground when I worked 24/7 to make it successful.

Even more traumatic are questions like why your spouse left you for another. Or perhaps why a daughter whom you showered with love turned against you when you asked her to leave her wife-beater of a husband.

Life is a mystery, but not when one is patient.

In the fullness of time

We should not get frustrated for not getting the answer to our questions when we want it.

Clarity comes in the fullness of time.
