Imagine a stage and a small audience. And so .. an elegant man pulls out a small lottery ball from the transparent drum and announces another winning number. After making sure that he called your number, you get up from your seat with a sinking heart and go through the isle up to the stage, where you are awarded with your winning lottery ticket.
As you climb the stage, the presenter announces to all those gathered how much you have won. And then you in full amazement hear that you got not at all a sports car and not even a vacuum cleaner. On your number dropped something that it is simply impossible to name a prize. After all, the host uttered absolutely terrible words that can not and should not have anything to do with you! Here are a few such terrible words. Oncology. Car crash. A child is a drug addict.
You are outraged. It's impossible! It's just out of the question! This is some kind of misunderstanding. You turn around and want to leave the stage. And the whole auditorium rightly supports you. After all, you are such a wonderful person. For sure, this is a mistake. Of course, you think, now justice will be restored. But carefully checking everything, the presenter assures you that there is no mistake, and you were given exactly the "winnings" that you fell out.
Lottery drawing continues. Everything goes on as usual. People get up from the neighboring chairs, on the stage they are handed the winnings that they have won, which they proudly demonstrate to everyone. And really, there is much to boast about! Someone on this "fabulous" lottery of life went to study abroad, someone - a prestigious marriage, someone - talented children.
It seems that at today's draw of destinies, only you got some misfortunes. You will never remember now that you used to be always lucky at such rallies. After all, before you always perceived your successful winnings as something due, and never surprised your luck.
It turns out that no exceptionality is needed in order to draw an unhappy ticket. Misfortunes are distributed, though not evenly, but they, alas, are enough for all, believe me!
Perhaps, you are convinced that such a good person as you, fate just must fall out successful? And what about the fact that there are a lot of really good people around you, with whom fate has been cruel enough. But, it would seem, they also deserved happiness, like you. But here there was a failure, and they, just like you, got a terrible lottery ticket. Is there a way to replace it?
Let's see. Some of them are always tormented, they do not even live, but only mourn their destiny forever.
But wait a minute, there is another group, those who were not fortunate by fate with a winning lottery ticket, but these people, in spite of the objective misfortunes in their life, could ignore them.
We will learn from such heroes! Those who have not closed their grievances in bitter destiny. For those who are struggling with redoubled energy for their happiness, it is fighting for the reason that luck for some reason has bypassed their side.
We will learn from those who transformed the tragic circumstances of their life from a close cage into a minor decoration, into a background on which they built happiness through the conscious effort of their own will. These people do not allow failures to close all the beauty of the world. Whatever happens - the loss of loved ones, disability, poverty - such people will not be stopped by anything. They stubbornly walked and continue to go to their own happiness, deciding to ignore the results of the vital "lottery", challenging the grief that has fallen to their lot - once and for all!
