What Are The Odds?
I just read a story of the Desarmes family that after surviving the Haiti earthquake moved to Chile to be with their eldest son just to experience another earthquake. Wow! Can you imagine being in two big earthquakes back to back? I certainly can’t, but I can say this that this family is definitely one that is being watched over. I think they are thoroughly blessed and their story just reaffirms, to me at least, that their is a higher power and that one has to have faith. This is a feel good story that makes you understand that faith is a beautiful thing and that nothing in life is ever for granted!
I do understand that this story can be seen as a “glass half-empty” tale. That is that the Desarmes family are “followed” by disaster as one author titled their story; however, I don’t think that is true. It just goes to show how things look so different depending on how we step back to look at the story. That each person interpretation is solely his or hers. For me this is a yang story through and through, for others it may not be but that is how you chose to perceive it: I’d rather see the glass half full!
