All the world's a stage,' wrote Shakespeare in the play As You Like It - but he forgot to mention that, although all are merely players, most are method-acting. They take their exits and entrances extremely seriously and are only ever conscious of the role they are currently cast in. Life now brings your chance to defuse a drama. Your ability to seize this opportunity depends on your willingness to start playing a new part. Rise to that challenge and you'll yet emerge from a recent ordeal as a truly shining star.
Some philosophers feel that little could be more unfortunate to be born under than a lucky star. Such folk, they claim, are oblivious to the hardships suffered by others. And thus, they are unable to relate to them. And, should their star ever, even briefly, let them down they will feel totally bereft and will have no experience of how to cope in its absence. Such philosophers are not, of course, ever born under such stars. Else they would know that all the above is a small price to pay for the luck you set to enjoy soon.
We live in a wiser world than we used to do, but we still have a considerable way to go. We have less prejudice, hatred, anger and fear... but there's always something somewhere to worry us. Your challenge is to evolve, move on, leave an old way of looking at life behind and inspire someone else to do the same. By working with what you've got, you can get precisely what's required. Instead of gazing into the distance wishing you could be somewhere else, just place yourself in the best position you can.
The past, the present and the future all exist right now - but if we were to allow ourselves to comprehend this, our understanding of 'reality' would collapse. Our frame of reference would vanish. Every sensible observation we made would sound like a babbling nonsense to the ears of others. Someone in your world is now saying something that you cannot relate to. Perhaps once, you could. Or perhaps one day you will. Don't be so sure that there isn't something right about what seems wrong. Time may yet change a lot. Time has many fold to unfold from time to time.
