A brief Encounter With Destiny
She appeared behind the curtain suddenly and sat at the corner of my hospital bed. I had been crying and seeing Lady Philosophy made me cry even more because I knew she would tell me that after all this misery I have gone through, I would never find supreme happiness. Yet she was wrong, and somehow I needed to gather the strength to tell her. She needed to know the real truth in how we can attain happiness in this lifetime no matter what miseries we may have gone through. 'You weep and weep and although I do not know the reason for your sadness, Destiny, I know that talking about it we can somehow find consolation in your troublesome situation. Tell me of the burdens that make you so sad.' 'My two kids, and my husband and I were all asleep when it happened. My smallest child came screaming into our bedroom as the fire alarm went off.

' 'What is it about God that only he can achieve happiness and that it isolates us from ever achieving it?' 'Well, with Boethius we discussed that happiness is found through the possession of divinity. Therefore meaning that happiness (A) can be found in this lifetime (C).
