According to Tom Lehrer "Life is like a
piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it". Is it? No
matter how we play sometimes the tunes in life sound much unlike what we strife
for. Is it kismet? fate? destiny? The forces that
control what happens to us sometimes override our efforts and the final tune is
not necessarily what we keyed in.
Perhaps it is better! a much sweeter tune.
Is it chance, serendipity, destiny, fate, Murphy’s law?— Do we believe in luck? The Will of the Almighty? What is kismet? It is not a logical and mathematical end to an effort, nor is it a deserved outcome of an effort. Fortune cannot always be earned and we don’t always get what we deserve because kismet ordained it to be not quite right for us. Kismet cannot be earned through self-sacrifice or tedious labor but is misaligned and detached from our expectations.
