Must all Inevitable Convergences End in Tragedy?

The Convergence of the Twain(Lines on the loss of the Titanic)~ by Thomas Hardy
In a solitude of the sea
Deep from human vanity,
And the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she.

Steel chambers, late the pyres
Of her salamandrine fires,
Cold currents thrid, and turn to rhythmic tidal lyres,

Over the mirrors meant
To glass the opulent
The sea-worm crawls - grotesque, slimed, dumb, indifferent.

Jewels in joy designed
To ravish the sensuous mind
Lie lightless, all their sparkles bleared and black and blind.

Dim moon-eyed fishes near
Gaze at the gilded gear
And query: 'What does this vaingloriousness down here?'...

Well: while was fashioning
This creature of cleaving wing,
The Immanent Will that stirs and urges everything

Prepared a sinister mate
For her - so gaily great -
A Shape of Ice, for the time far and dissociate.

And as the smart ship grew
In stature, grace, and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the Iceberg too.

Alien they seemed to be:
No mortal eye could see
The intimate welding of their later history.

Or sign that they were bent
By paths coincident
On being anon twin halves of one august event,

Till the Spinner of the Years
Said 'Now!' And each one hears,
And consummation comes, and jars two hemispheres.

Hmmm . . .
So whatever happened to the iceberg? Was there only one victim in the tragedy of this convergence? Of course not! Perhaps the iceberg died as well, but a death that was silent, stoic, and always faithful to God's plan. Which one am I? Am I the iceberg that makes its way cautiously, slowly, and quietly towards its fate, cradled in God's knowing hands? Or am I the ship that purposely glides into the night surrounded by laughter, music, and celebration, also cradled in God's knowing hands? One is never better than the other because both are doing what is natural and purposeful under His gaze. It's not the convergence that must be feared--that is the easy part believe it or not. It is how we both conduct ourselves after the convergence as we look to God and pray that we follow Him with dignity and grace and continually trust in His will until our last breath.
