The most important things in life happen when their time comes—not when we want them to, even if we want them with all our hearts.
If it were otherwise, we’d quickly lose interest in life.
Think about it—why bother with longing, worry, or anticipation if every move is already mapped out and the ending is printed in tomorrow’s paper?
At its core, life is a surprise: “Oh! No! Wow! Really?!”
If all surprises were pleasant and profitable, they’d lose their magic. Without the risk of loss or disappointment, champagne goes flat, and gold turns into copper. We need uncertainty in full measure—the good and the bad.
Triumph pushes us to wander too far into the unknown. Defeat forces us to pause, transform, and hunger for a comeback.
Each extreme exhausts itself, nudging us toward a turnaround.
So why do we loathe the risk of mistakes so much that we get stuck in the swamp instead of rafting down the mountain river?
We lack unconditional love—the kind that values us simply for existing, not for what we’ve achieved.
In our imperfection, we are worthy.
Like water, love is a universal solvent. Without them, life on Earth is unimaginable. Love dissolves and washes away everything—fear, filth, doubt, sins, and scars.
Whoever loves and is loved meets the unknown head-on. In such a person, an alchemical furnace burns. It transforms evil into good.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
