I've been reading this book on happiness by Andrew Matthews. And it talked about how, when you want something badly, the universe will undoubtedly be against you. And it will remain against you, and you will agonize and bitch and moan. But if you still insist you want it and work your ass off for it, and say, "Go to hell, cosmic conspiracy, I want this!" and fight for your dream even when things look 100% bleak, then the universe will look down on you, know that it has fully tested the extent of your ambition and desire, and finally smile and relent. And then you'll have what you so desperately want.

I was watching the finale episode of 'How I Met Your Mother' on StarWorld the other night and Ted totally illustrated with absolute vividness, the above theory. He went so far as to rain dance on top of a building so that it'd rain and Robin could be prevented from going camping with some other guy. Ahah. And it did rain.

Iftar at our house again today.
