Only God Knows What You'll Go Through

It is the closest thing I had to a spiritual/supernatural experience - a feeling I cannot explain away without feeling like I am lying to myself. It was a particularly bad night for me and I was taking the bus home. I wasn't in the state of mind to care for anything in particular but how to put one foot in front of another and make it home.

People came on the bus and went down in their stops, but than one guy got up and sat not far from me. And my mind suddenly became clear with a single verse (from "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five) coming to my mind:

"A child is born with no state of mind, Blind to the ways of mankind. God is smiling on you, but he's frowning too, Because only God knows what you'll go through".

I could feel as if he will go through all I have been through and I just wanted to reach out to him and let him know. But let him know what? I didn't see a way through this, why let him know it is doomed? So I just sat there, lost and connected at the same time, with the world feeling slightly less lonely at that moment.
