Sometimes, it takes a good fall to really know where we stand.
A man who had known success all his life is vulnerable to failure. He probably had not done something extra, or he had felt comfortable in his fallen state. Most often we know just a little about the position we stand in life especially when everything has been in our favor. We believe everyone is a friend, we trust everyone we meet, we go about carelessly with little or no thoughts about life, and we become blinded to signs that connotes danger. We never actually know where we stand until we take a good fall.
Sometimes Falling is not fatal, it's a part of life's programming to help us understand the cosmos at large. A fall reveals what was never true all along, and it help an individual know the position he stands not just among friends but in life as a whole
A man who was afraid he had married a woman who was after his gold pretending to suffer bankruptcy. Before her eyes different calls came in to announce a misfortune that had happened to him. For the first few days she tried to stand by her man but as days went by she started to lose faith in him and ended up settling for someone who she believed was doing well, it was only until then did he realize he had married a lady who couldn't endure with him in times of suffering and lack. Even though his fall was a pretense it made him realize where he stands in her life. Sometimes Falling is not as fatal as we think, sometimes it helps us understand where we stand.
