About This Quote

When a person is caught in a situation that is completely out of their control, they may feel frustrated and angry. However, being trapped in a situation that they could not have predicted does not mean they have been wronged by others. In fact, when things have gone wrong for them, it serves as a reminder that there is more to this world than they can ever know or understand. It’s a reminder that there are people around who care about them and will work to help them through the hard times. This quote is a testament to the spirit of resilience and determination at play when bad things happen to good people.
