I just finished reading a book that if I knew what it was about I wouldn't have read it. However the description on the "back of the book" drew me in and from the first pages I was hooked and couldn't put it down.
One annoying thing was that it got me thinking again. Actually gave myself a headache. Ha ha, what is the answer? I have no idea but I wanted this book of fiction to answer it for me.
When I was a young girl I didn't question much. Of course I had the typical teen angst, why me? Or why her? As I got older I still didn't question much, things naturally went my way - I usually got what I wanted. As I am getting older though I am questioning everything, finding fault in the stars so to speak.
I think for most people life just has it's ups and downs, a virtual roller coaster. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Of course there are those for whom it seems like the universe is always in their pocket and there are those that seem to not be able to catch a break. Life is always greener, however we really don't know people, even our closest friends. Some of it is luck, some chance, and some is plain hard work. So what is the answer. I believe the answer is who knows. There are those who are so deeply religious that they believe the hand of god is behind everything, and there are those who believe that the universe is random. As Luke reasons,
"Once I believed it, then I stopped believing it; and now I am not sure what to believe."
If everything happens for a reason, as a lot of people believe, then someone must be in control. However as Thomas states,
"The world is a random place. If I see a rock falling down the hill I don't imagine that anyone is controlling the way it bounces, sending it this way or that."
I am not sure this is a question that will ever be answered.
What do you think?
