Humans are fickle creatures.
People think accepting one's fate is a complex matter, but in truth, it could not be simpler.
One who does all in their power to accomplish their goal, and knows they have done all that they could, would, in all likelihood, accept the injustice as a destined cruelty from the world upon them.
However, those who harbor regrets—things that were clearly in front of them, but they were simply too blind, proud, or ignorant to see—those are the people with the cruelest fate.
The simplest example would be failing an exam.
Those who studied with all their might, knowing they had done all they could but failed regardless, would simply accept that this path in life was not for them.
However, those who procrastinated, avoiding the opportunities clearly given to them, would blame it on themselves… They would always wonder, "what if?"—a regret they would harbor for a long time.
Such were Joseph's thoughts…
