I’m sitting in the backseat of my family’s minivan, dozing off as my parents make some light chatter in the front. When all of a sudden I’m jerked awake as the car swerves frantically to avoid colliding with someone who was in too much of a rush to kindly provide a blinker.
And somewhat uncharacteristically, my dad drops a casual,
“Jo kuch bhi hota hai, acche ke liye hota hai. Destiny hai”
“Whatever happens, happens for the best. It’s destiny”
That’s just what we humans do. We’re born to make sense of the world around us. Even when things are shy of disaster, we find a single puzzle piece slotting into place by pure coincidence…
And we call it destiny.
