I saw the photo of the major smiling and holding a donut, just hours before he held out his gun and devastated the lives of thousands of soldiers and their families. In one instant, an entire community of soldiers and their families faced a new dynamic of total uncertainty in their lives: the place they considered the safest turned into a setting for a horrific nightmare. We never know what the next moment will bring on any given day or how those moments will evolve into whole new twists and turns of our existence or lack thereof. Life is definitely an ongoing crapshoot, and we're reminded every day of how powerless we are in writing its script/Marianne Love, Slight Detour. More here. 

Question: Do you view life as a crapshoot? Or do you think there's a divine purpose to everything?
