Henry talks rubbish, he got offended when Zak told him " may the best man win".....when they were both up for eviction .

I get this and have the same mindset. For similar reasons to you, I do believe that some things are just meant to be, even if those things can be hard to bear. It helps in making some sense of difficult experiences that are outside our control, and that in turn, helps us to move forward and be more prepared for the future. It’s not a luxurious belief but a coping mechanism. :

Absolutely. They can bring a sense of acceptance to a situation that we don’t like and can’t change. That, in turn, helps people feel they can move forward.

I think, sometimes, it’s not necessarily the words said that are important, but the intentions behind them, and the feeling of support they generate which often provides comfort and strength.

Glad to know I’m not the only one.

Duh, because it helps us remember the true meaning of Christmas.
