I read this question not long ago online. I have been thinking about it so much since then.
I have heard that SO many times in my life as, I am sure, you have too. But, is it true? If you really think about it does everything happens for a reason? |

QUOTE(MissHygienic @ Dec 15 2007, 03:07 PM)  What doesn't happen for a reason? A reason, according to the dictionary, is a rational motive for a belief or action. So, yes, as far as not extending beyond the limits of our own knowledge, everything happens for a reason. Not because it teaches us a lesson or any result that occurs after; that would be a consequence. And if everything in your life is a downfall, of course everyone has a reason as to why it is? Some people can't pay the bills because they're not working long enough hours; people may be homeless because of a fire. The fire may have occurred from a forest fire, and the forest fire might have started because some kids were fooling around with matches. JC asked a similar question and this is what I said QUOTE(MissFits @ Dec 9 2007, 10:10 PM) I meant does everything happen for a reason. For example: When my Dad died everyone always said "everything happens for a reason". What is that reason though? What is going to happen to me later on in life that it is necessary my dad be dead? I hope that made it easier to understand. Does that clear it up? I already know everything is caused by something else. |
