Aptness

Yesterday I just scrolled through the status messages of people on my GTalk list and found the following two messages just too apt for the situation

"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go"

and,

"Time heals it all".

Wondering if this a mere co-incidence or do we just fit them to the situations we are in. I am confused.
