In Martina Cole's book "The Life," the author reflects on a saying her grandmother often repeated: that individuals receive the life they deserve. This notion presents a challenging perspective on fate and personal accountability. The sentiment evokes a sense of uncertainty about whether our circumstances truly correlate to our actions and choices.

Although the idea may resonate with some, the author expresses a desire for this saying to be false, suggesting a hope for grace and chance in shaping one’s life. Ultimately, the complexity of life and the waiting for answers reveals that the truth of such sayings will unfold over time.
