It is natural to scream at the sky, to demand justice, to feel that life has gone terribly wrong. There are moments when it is impossible to see purpose. And yet even in these moments there is a lesson waiting to be seen, not in the suffering itself, but in how we meet it.
The lesson is to surrender. Not to give up, but to stop resisting what is beyond our control. To accept that some things cannot be fixed, that some pain cannot be erased, and to ask instead, what does this moment ask of me.
Surrender does not mean numbness. It means clarity. It means opening your heart to reality without being crushed by it. It is in this space, between grief and acceptance, that we can find the power to act with compassion, to hold presence, and to let life teach us what it must.
Even the most terrible events can shape us. They can awaken empathy, resilience, and awareness. They remind us that life is fragile, unpredictable, and yet deeply balanced in ways our minds cannot always grasp.
The question is no longer how is this fair, but what does this moment ask of me. When we answer that question, even in small ways, we honor the balance that life is always holding, even in the midst of pain.
