The Irony of Life

Irony. It is one key word I learned to face life well. The stop right before irony is tragedy which is where most people stop and lose hope. Irony, for me, is the key word in recognizing life’s absurdities because it explains everything without extracting a deep-rooted belief in life itself. Because there are ironies of all different kinds: the good unforeseen expectations that come true, the gifts you never saw coming, and the ways in which life turned out to be good when it could have gone the other way. The purpose of life’s irony is to remind us what happens to us is not always determined by us because several life trails are knitted together in intricate ways. It is, however, up to us to have faith in nature to accept why we have been chosen for certain journeys and not others. As long as each human being got at least one moment to be exactly where they wanted to be, for one life, it is enough. The biggest irony of a lifetime is eventually one moment which is probably when it all comes together.
