Why not? What is it that you think is improbable? What is the basis of your most certain belief? When was the last time you sat down to think about the course of things? Why not do it everyday?

Last year, hundreds of tons of dead fish surfaced in the waters of the Philippines, China, America, Malaysia and others. A massive torrent swamped the Northern Mindanao area in the Philippines and caused irreparable damage and numerous casualties. A massive amount of radiation found its way into the atmosphere above Japan due to an earthquake of epic proportions. Tornadoes continued to whirl across America. Floods raged through Queensland in Australia. There’s just too much to list down.

We all believe that disasters are highly improbable events. Why do they happen? I have no answer to that question. They could have been caused by a multitude of things that we do not mostly see. The fact is they happen. And, why not?

In life, mostly nothing is a win-win situation. Oftentimes, we need to lose in order to win at a later time. A win might lead to a loss that we must experience in order to learn something anew. I don’t know all things but I always ask, why not?

In everything, there is solace if we seek for it. In the face of the highly improbable, I prefer to embrace it and respond accordingly. However, I confess that I do wrong most of the time. Whether events bring about a time of mourning or joy, I must move on.

I never thought two words on a page could mean so much. I have no idea why Camille typed those very words when we met. Maybe the right contemplation is— Why not?
