Whatever happens is the best arrangement!
I have heard this phrase so many times.
Very vaguely, I thought it might make sense, but definitely would be more for comforting people.
Recently, I think I might have found a way to explain it logically.
This is how balance is always restored, through frustrations.
1. Whatever happens is the best arrangement for individuals
If people are meant for something, frustrations provide them opportunities to get stronger.
Similarly, if people are not meant for it, frustrations provide them opportunities to realize that and pursue other things that they are meant for.
Frustrations also provide opportunities for others to witness their change of course, so that the people in the original track will stop wasting resources supporting them and the people in the new track might see their potential and start investing in them.
If there is really circle of life, then frustrations put people in their places.
And being in the wrong place is probably the most pathetic cause for certain failure.
So whatever happens is the best arrangement for individuals.
2. Whatever happens is the best arrangement for systems
For a system to last, it needs stability above all else.
To maintain stability, rules are created.
And whoever does not follow the rules gets punished, which is a major source of “Frustrations”.
These frustrations again put people in their places and in turn, maintain the stability of the systems.
Call it scarifying the few for the benefits of many.
So whatever happens is the best arrangement for systems.
Summary
We do live in harmony, where the “best arrangement” is aligned among both individuals and systems.
