THE PREGNANT DEER SCENARIO...
In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth to a baby. It finds a remote grass field nearby a river and slowly goes there, thinking it would be safe. As she moves slowly, she gets labour pains. At the same moment, dark clouds gather around that area and lightning starts a forest fire. Turning left, she sees a hunter who is aiming an arrow from a distance. As she tries to move towards the right, she spots a hungry lion approaching towards her.
STOCHASTIC PROBABILITY THEORY
What can the pregnant deer do, as she is already under labour pain..?
What do you think will happen..?
Will the deer survive..?
Will it give birth to a fawn..?
Will the fawn survive...?
OR
Will everything be burnt by the forest fire...?
Can the deer go left..? No, the hunter's arrow is pointing at her.
Can she go right...? No, the hungry male lion is approaching her.
Can she move up..? No, there the forest is on fire.
Can she move down..? No, that is where the fierce river is.
Answer: She does nothing. She just focuses on giving birth to a new LIFE..
The sequence of events that happens at that fraction of a second (moment) are as follows:
In the spur of a MOMENT, a lightning strikes, and blinds the eyes of the hunter...!
At that MOMENT, he releases the arrow missing and zipping past the deer...!
At that MOMENT, the arrow hits and injures the lion badly...!
At that MOMENT, it starts to rain heavily and puts out the forest fire...!
At that very MOMENT, the deer gives birth to a healthy fawn...!
In our life too, there are MOMENTS of CHOICE when we all have to deal with negative thoughts from all sides. Some thoughts are so powerful they overcome us and make us clueless. Anything can happen in a MOMENT in this life. If you are religious, superstitious, atheist, agnostic or whatever, you can attribute this MOMENT to divine intervention, faith, sudden luck, serendipity, coincidence, karma, or a simple 'I just don't know'...!
The priority of the deer, in that given moment, was simply giving birth to a baby, because LIFE IS PRECIOUS...!
In future, may you always be inspired to have a focused positive insight, oblivious of all imaginary, negative probabilities.

A very profoundly written article indeed . Just to share some couplets on the above-highlighted conclusive thought.

ALONG THE PATH OF LIFE, MY FRIEND,
I SEE AND TURN ROUND MANY A BEND;
HOPING AND SEEKING LIFE'S AIM AND END,
BUT ALL THAT I COULD EVER COMPREHEND
IS YET ANOTHER DISTANT MYSTIC-BEND !!
WITH RIVERS TO CROSS AND BRIDGES TO MEND.
GOD, IS THIS A FARCE ? WHEN WILL IT END ?
