As far as my understanding of the life is considered and on retro inspection i feel that each experience good or bad has left a lasting mark on my personality and made me a different person .

I have a cook and together we have spent a decade with a mutual dislike for each other . Though he is a good cook but a very difficult human being to deal with . During covid times i was stuck with his presence in the house and had to bear with his behaviour . Most of the times i was irritable and angry which was affecting my health . Almost at all times i wanted to throw him out of the house but since finding house hold help is becoming next to impossible so i was almost all the times left with no option .

One day i was simmering with anger when I started remembering god . Firstly i cursed my fate , then fought with god but to no avail .

Then slowly peace started descending on me and I realised that god has kept him in my life for a purpose . I started to loose temper and a peace descended upon me . He was there to teach me a lesson on human behaviour . He was there to teach me that when things are not moving my way and situations are worse just maintain the peace . Don’t react , don’t show your weaknesses and you will emerge a winner .

Contemplation was needed more than overt reaction and immediately I identified his presence in my life .

And to this day i have only benefited out of his presence in my life .
