I used to have this weird understanding about disappointment. I used to think that disappointment is meant for certain people - the wicked, crooked and perverse people. Little did I know that disappointment is not peculiar to some sect of people. It is indeed an event that is common to all.
Let me tell you what my thoughts were exactly. To me, a good person does not deserve to be treated badly. Hence, disappointment is not meant for the good people. In a way, I have considered myself as a good person so disappointment is not my lot.
Now that I have this understanding that if we (humans beings) don't face disappointments, trials, rejections and temptations then we are nothing but a child. It is a child who believes that he/she does not deserve any of those.
Trust me now, I have snapped out of this shallow understanding. For I have now known sorrow, sadness and disappointment are signs of maturity. However, they are obviously not palatable situations but it is how we handle and overcome that makes us matured persons.
Read Assumption by the same author...
Just take a look at Job's case. He was reduced to nothing, he practically had nothing to fore back on. Can we say he deserved it? Obviously NO. In the end, he was able to overcome.
This is the crux of the matter - never think you don't deserve to be disappointed or sorrowful. No one attains full maturity without the experiencing of disappointment; how you leverage on them to be better person in life is what matters (Improvised quote).
