I truly believe in the statement, "Things happen for a reason".
Even though it's sometimes hard to understand why bad things happen,
I like to think that each action has a purpose behind it in the long run.
My question is, does this whole theory seem too optimistic?
We hear people say this whenever somebody is in a bad situation to
make the other person feel better... don't we? Are we being
blinded by the fact that, hey bad things do happen spontaneously and may
have no purpose at all? And if so, is that reality?

There is no such thing as fighting
against Fate. Everyone trys but no
one ever succeeds. Whatever happens
happens and it must be dealt with.. Try as hard as you'd like, nothing will be any different... simply because there's always
a reason for everything. Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing. It's like a domino effect. One thing leads to another. Every action affects something else no matter how hard you deny it. Think of it as a food chain. Take one group away, the rest falls down.
Everything does happen for a reason. I believe the statement is just another way to say cause and effect. (not so much talking about Grieving or cheating death) more so related to everything. With everything in life you have more than one option. But when you pick something it changes your future. It's not fate it's logic. Just like the little mazes on the Denny's kids menu. If you start at start and at the first cross roads you choose to go left the whole future of that maze will be different than if you were to go right at that same turn. As stupid as it sounds it's the perfect metaphor for your life. No matter what your going to have to make a choice and each choice will affect you differently than it's competitors. So choose wisely, yet don't be afraid because either way you'll get to the end eventually. ;c)
You create your own luck, both good and bad. You make decisions that will affect your lifes outcome. If you go to Rutgers, then your life is most likely to have a different outcome then someone who went to the University of Illinois. Sometimes these paths do merge again at some point, but the decisions that you make throughout your life will affect who you become. Your decisions are your own and when the really important decisions come make sure its your decision and not your friends or families. Your life becomes your failure and your success.
Yea, everything happens for a reason. It is another way of saying cause and effect, but it can also mean that everything will have the same effect whether you do something or not. There is no real cause but there is only a real effect or real ending. People say that some small things can make big things happen. It's true that if you're addicted to crack, then you can be addicted for life and sell drugs and go to jail, or you can take the small step to go through counseling. You may take the small steps, but you still might end up in jail. Some things just arent logical.
i think that the statements things happen for a reason is true. everything happens for a reason. it's kind of like cause and effect. the outcome refers back to what you did before or what you chose. you make your own decisions which will affect the outcome of your life. if you go the wrong way, then your life would be messed up in some sort of way because of that little mistake that you made.
Yes, I do. I think there are some coincidences that occur in life that seem to be tailor made for you.
I will use the example of my brother. He is autistic, which appears to be a random unfortunate event. It probably would not have been a wise thing at the time to say to my parents ‘things happen for a reason’ in reference to my brother. But the instances that lead after it seem to benefit our family in the long run.
First off, we moved from New York to Jersey, which, in hindsight, was a good thing, because our old town is now overbuilt and a real ‘mini-Manhattan’ in a bad way. When my mom had to choose a town to live in, she told me that she literally got a map of the county we would be moving to and blindly waved about her finger to land on a town, confident God would help her choose a good place. Her finger landed on East Brunswick, and when she did research, she found out that this town would help us in transporting Jake to school and also had a blue ribbon public school system. Later, when we found a good school for my brother, we ended up making a lot of friends there which we never would have met without my brother. One of them happens to be Colombian, which was cool because it was the first time we had run into someone of the same ethnicity since moving here. Then I was introduced to her cousin, who has become the big crazy Spanish brother I never had (not by any means replacing my brother, mind you). One of the teachers at my brother’s school is even from East Brunswick, and we recently found out that we attended the exact same concert a few years ago! (I was nine, she was in high school).
This all seems too convenient to be happening randomly.
As for other tragedies (genocides, 9/11, ect), I believe some good comes out of them. I don’t think I could ever say to anyone who has lost someone in a huge tragedy “he/she died for a reason”, but I think good can come out of suffering. That is how we get laws that prevent the same thing from repeating itself, and it has a way of putting our priorities straight (seeing how valuable family is, among other things).
I think everything does happen for a reason. It is just like knowing the consequences of your actions. For example if you go up to someone and hit them, they are probbaly going to hit you back. this may not be true for everything but for most situations thre a reason for why a certain thing happened.

Absolutely. Everything does happen for a reason. It is just like cause and effect. When you do something, something will happen consequently. If you belive in faith, you belive in this statement. I don't mean to get realigious on everyone, but i feel that God has his ways with everyone and when he does something, he has a reason. This might sound contridicting but i belive in both fate and cause and effect. I think God has a path for all of us, so he makes us go through the cause and get the effect. It makes sense in my head i'm not so sure online. But yeah, everything does happen for a reason. I completely agree with this statement.
People say everything happens for a reason. The "reason" that things happen is whatever decision was made before it. I believe that you make your own destiny. You are the one that makes things happen.
This reminds me of the thriller movie, Final Destination 3.
The concept behind the movie is that there is an accident where everyone dies brutally, but before it happens a girl has a vision of it and starts flipping out so a bunch of people leave with her. The people who stay experience the accident and die. The people who left because of the vision obviously survive. But slowly, the survivors begin to die off in the same order as they would have died.
At one point, the guy who is supposed to die next narrowly escapes. He then believes he has cheated death as the person who is supposed to die after him does and the progression continues. However, after the pattern has been completed and everyone else has died, he then dies in the way he was supposed to. The idea was that death skipped over him, but after it finished its progression, it still came back for him.
The idea is that nobody can escape fate. No matter what tricks or turns life takes, what is destined to happen ultimately will and that is the reason for everything.

I truley believe that everything happens for a reason. This might be a complex thing but i feel that each action or behavor has its purpose. I feel this theory can be both optimistic and pesimistic. Optimisic because if something good happens to you then someone might be returning the favor or your life was just planned that way. Pesimistic because i feel people bring this up when something bad happens. Fate is fate and i feel you can fight it. When a tradegy strike, there must be some reason behind it whether we can understand it or not. Everyone makes mistakes and that helps you make your life, by learning from them and if you havent made those mistakes maybe you wouldn't be who you are today. Therefore believing that everything does happen for a reason.

I think it does and that is what we called life.I mean everything was prefect it would have been boring. The lord knew that eva was going to eat the apple. He just tested her to see what she will do. That is how I feel about life most time. Can you pass the test or are you just going to fail. Boths ways it have it advances.I think you can figure that out
