If you reveal your secrets

If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

Inspirational quotation by Kahlil Gibran

I've never been very secretive, and so it is very hard for me not to share my joys and sorrows with anyone who loves me or has a wholesome interest in my thoughts and actions. You can imagine my bewilderment when I decided to take a year to live apart from my husband for reasons I may or may not share later with you and he begged me not to tell anyone about it. As the days went by he realized the unfairness of that request and we developed together growing lists of those who would be in or out of the secret. It felt lovely to share my secret with these special people, and yet I mourned the fact that certain others would not appreciate the holiness (wholeness?) of my decision.
It's been just over a week since I moved out of my home of more than twenty years, and I'm trying to make sense of a million different feelings and emotions. Writing about it is one way in which I get to reflect deeply on my life's issues. Listening to my friends' responses helps me put my reflections in context. Since I am not able to share with all of them, I will have to trust you, dear readers, with the pieces of my heart that I gradually unearth. I only ask that, just as the believer is asked to take their shoes off before treading on holy ground, that you leave all bitterness, prejudice, and fear as you receive this delicate gift from the depths of my soul. You, the trees that surround me, provide me with shelter and protection. Please be gentle with the bits of secrets that the wind gently drops on your leaves.

Then You would ask, "When luck in determining the success / failure of us, why we need to learn?" The simple answer, because all the events in this world is not regulated in the binary logic of black and white, yes and no. All events in the world operate in probabilistic. Function of Learning is to increase our probability to achieve what we want and reduce the negative impacts when we meet the other fate. In other words, learning does not ensure you will succeed, but will increase your probability of success than those who do not learn. How much probability is, no one knows except the Almighty.

Advantages probability also does not mean you will always win against their smaller probability. If you have a probability of 60-40 and 40-60 your friends, and his fate chose 40% chance that your friend has than your 60%, you still lose the opportunity. Probability would only be on your side, when the same events can be repeated several times. The more frequent the same events over and over, the more probability will help you. You might protest that not all of us were given more opportunity. But with the knowledge and the right attitude, you should be able to create opportunities for more
