Understanding Something You Can’t Understand

There are times when we go through tribulations that we can’t understand. No matter how much brainpower we use to make sense of it, the answer, or meaning behind it, remains elusive–even mysterious.

It’s as if the event was spontaneous and irrational–beyond our means of comprehension. There was no reason for it, no purpose behind it. We look at all the ways it could’ve been avoided or deterred. After analyzing the multitude of possibilities, we conclude that the probability of what happened was so slim that we wonder how (or why) it happened in the first place.

It’s one of those things we can’t understand–won’t understand–because it makes no logical sense. Yet things like that happen in life, things that puzzle us, cause uneasiness down to our bones.

We wrestle with making sense of the mysterious to put our minds at ease, yet there’s something about it that evades our understanding of reality. Simply put, there are some things we just don’t understand, or maybe we’re not meant to.
