“There is nothing so deep and so inexpressible as the power of destiny”
— John Quincy Adams
Simplified Meaning:
Destiny is a force that controls what happens in our lives, and it can be very powerful and mysterious. Imagine a young artist who works very hard but struggles to get noticed. One day, by chance, a famous art critic sees their work and loves it, leading to the artist’s big break. In this case, destiny played a role in making these events happen, something beyond the artist’s control. Sometimes, our efforts alone aren’t enough - there are unseen forces at play guiding us toward certain outcomes. Recognizing this can help us understand that not everything is always in our hands and that unexpected twists and turns might lead to significant changes in our lives. Accepting and embracing this can make it easier to cope with life’s uncertainties and surprises.
