It's good to see friends having a philosophical discussion - leaves one with lots of food for thought, doesn't it?😀

I can see your point and his/hers; and what is easy for one person, could be hard for another - as well as vice versa. So, it's quite inaccurate to use that as a metric for whether it's "meant to be"...

I think the whole "meant to be" philosophy is another huge debate: some say it's all meant to be, and some say there's one "true" path that we should constantly be seeking out.

I'm with you on fighting for one's goals - and loved your last question: What does that story say about us - well asked, Fatunla!

Much love - and what a pleasant gift, seeing the mention of my article. You are the sweetest...thank you, thank you!
