I dunno. It's just an example of how Something happens in Reality and we just have to accept it and react to what it results in. E.g. we have to react to Reality not to our Imaginations. This is hard because ALL WE HAVE is our imaginations.

"I want to you to go on a Journey with me." "Why?" "Because it's important" "Is it Beautiful and Divine?" "No..." "Is it Terrible and Demonic?" "No..." "Then what is it?" "It will be what it is." "That sounds boring..." "Well... that's what this Journey will change."
