When something unfortunate happens to us, we often try to look for answers. We question why it happened, or why out of the almost 8 billion people in the world, we were the ones who got picked in the universe’s “unlucky draw.” But life is unpredictable, and the best we can do in these tricky situations is to breathe and treat them as learning experiences.
