Q: but at the wrong time? Or have met the right person at the wrong time? For example something or someone who could have helped you in a situation where you needed it badly but that help only showed up later? How do you feel in a situation like this?

A: Oh many times ya Farah, especially these days..... BUT i am steadfast in my believes that "everything in life happens (or doesn't happen) for a reason and if i keep thinking of what i missed then i enter a vicious circle of "What ifs and regrets" and its futile and hurtful to live in this state of mind. There is never a wrong time, things were meant to be this way and if i don't like the way things are going i try to change them, and if i can't because it is not that easy and others will be hurt, then i have to make do with what i have and live with it. Bottom line "accept things/people the way the are or the way they happened or at least try to change them" and in the process gain knowledge and experience to help others in similar situations.
