Simplified meaning
Life is full of surprises, and we can't predict everything that will happen. Just when we think we have everything figured out, something unexpected might occur. Imagine planning a picnic and checking the weather forecast, which says it will be sunny. Suddenly, it rains on the day of your picnic. This shows that even the things we think are definite can change. Embracing this idea can help us stay flexible and ready for whatever comes our way. Instead of getting upset when things don't go as planned, we can adapt and find new solutions.
