No matter what station you hold in life, there will always be things that will surprise you. Whether you choose to be outraged or delighted is up to you.
In the book "Her Officer and Gentleman" by Karen Hawkins, the author emphasizes that life is filled with unexpected events that can catch anyone by surprise, regardless of their social standing or position. This notion suggests that life is inherently unpredictable, and it is a universal experience that transcends societal differences.
Moreover, Hawkins highlights the importance of perspective in how we respond to these surprises. Individuals have the power to choose their reactions, whether to respond with anger and outrage or to embrace joy and delight in the face of surprises. This choice significantly shapes one’s experience and outlook on life.
