ABSTRACT
The eighteenth-century philosopher Voltaire certainly got it right when he famously said, “This is not the best of all possible worlds.” Indeed, hardships abound. Something can unexpectedly block readers path at the most inopportune time. Life is full of hassles and hardships that, unfortunately, don’t always strike at the most convenient moments. On the one hand, they have gifted reader with a mind that allows them to reflect upon and appreciate every aspect of life. Whether they are within their inner circle or are more distant from them, they will fairly often commit sins of commission, doing things they don’t like, and sins of omission, not doing things they do like. The bottom line is that they do not live among saints or angels. But there’s more to it than simply that. Not only will these fallible people misbehave, they will do so when, where, and how they do, not just when they find it convenient or permissible.
