"To everything there is a season, and a Individualogist Review time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted" Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 2. There are times in our lives when things go wrong and we become so devastated to the point of wanting to commit suicide or actually committing suicide! I remember a particular incident that involved a man and a woman. I will call them Joan and Philip. They had such a wonderful relationship going on. Theirs was the talk of the town and the envy of everybody who knew them. It couldn't just be better and no man or woman would have wanted someone else apart from somebody like this two! They were always together and did everything together. Their relationship dated back to the high school days we were told. Who in his/her right sense would have imagined that such a 'HOT' and 'WONDERFUL' relationship will not end up in marriage? No! It did not! Philip called it off some months before their wedding to the chagrin and consternation of all of us! How could he be so heartless and insensitive? How could he be so shallow minded and let such a "good" and "wonderful" person go? Was Joan devastated, heartbroken and bitter? Of course yes you bet! We were all angry with Philip and showed him in no uncertain terms what and how we felt about him and his deceit, betrayal and 'wickedness'. Joan felt 'used' and nearly killed him if not for the interference of people who were around and stopped her! For several months she was not the same person. The light went out of her eyes and she walked like a zombie! She was inconsolable and nothing you told her about God's better and bigger plan and positive mental attitude made any positive impact on her. Less than a year to their wedding anniversary had they wedded, Philip died in a ghastly motor accident on his way from Abuja - the Nigerian Federal Capital Territory. The news came to all of us as a BIG shock!
