I know there are a ton of previous posts regarding each component of this phrase. However after reading through many of them over the past few weeks I had difficulty finding a translation that I felt really fit. Also I wanted to make sure that if combined together the translation would not change (however based on all the prior threads I've read I'm thinking it will). When using the phrase I am trying to get the point across that whatever is going to happen regardless of my attempts to intervene, and that there is a greater reason for that than I could ever understand. Thanks ahead of time for everyone's input. This forum truly is amazing, as I love how you all really take into consideration the genuine internal meaning behind the phrase versus just "translating" it like Google
