Reader question: Please explain “find a way” in “Life will find a way”. My comments: Literally, if you are going somewhere far away and are able to find your way, well, you don’t get lost. Idiomatically speaking, if you find a way to do something, you’re able to do it by looking for and finding solutions to each and every problem on the way. Finding a way, in a nutshell, means discovering how to do something difficult or achieve one’s goal in spite of difficulties. Life will find a way? That means life will always be able to find its way out in order to achieve its goal, whatever that means. Well, the goal of life is essentially to recreate, regenerate and renew itself – in spite of all difficulties. A good example will be for us to observe a blade of grass growing out of a crack in the pavement on a city street. Achieving the seemingly impossible, the grass somehow, against all odds, finds its way out, out of cement and hard concrete. In the big picture, the Arctic is cold, for example, low temperatures in winter turning vast oceans into a land of ice, but the polar bear is able to, so far, make a good living out there. The Sahara, on the other hand, may look too hot and dry a place to dwell for anyone but as we know all sorts of small animals and plants survive there as well, all overcoming overwhelming odds in their own way. |
