Do you believe everything happens for a reason?

Just a question floating around in the depths of my shallow mind...

OMG YES! If there wasn't a reason, then how come the phone book HAPPENED to be open on my gramma's counter?! (Vivi gets it). And if there wasn't a reason, then how come it HAPPENED that there was a Coach marathon on that weekend so I couldn't watch Cheers and redeem Kelsey into my love life? Oh yeah there's reason!!!

This morning i had a feeling that i needed 25¢ for school so i took a quarter and at school there were goodies for sale for 25¢. Weird...

Hollow · 10-21-2002, 10:36 PM

O ya this is really freaky...1 time i lost some electronic game for a long time and i dreamed that i found it under the couch. When i woke up i looked under the couch and it was there, in the exact same place i dreamed it was in.

I believe that theres a reason for everything. I believe that everyone has a purpose and when they die, that they have served their purpose. I believe that everyone in my is in my life for a reason. There has to be a reason that I kno certain people, whether its to teach me a life lesson or make me realize something I havent before. I also believe that whatever tragedy or unexpected event that happens in my life, happens for a reason. Whatever happens, happens so I can learn something. But yeah...my point is...I think everything happens for a reason.

I believe in reasons..and fate..oh wait..they the same thing? Ohh..and that just rhymed. Anywho..yes, I def. believe in it. If there wasnt a reason for every happening, what would we have to look forward too? Although, I dont understand why we lose our power when something weve waited all week to see on TV is about to come on. How the hell do you explain that?? Trying to teach us about being selfish or something? Some things just cant be explained!!

Yes, I do. There is a reason for everything even though sometimes we don't see it or expect it.

Juss Like Jo Po · 10-22-2002, 06:07 AM

I believe everythign happens for a reason...it may not be a good thing sometimes but....yea i believe in that stuff

Mossopp · 10-22-2002, 04:17 PM

Yes, I do believe that everything happens for a reason.
Believing in that isn't always such a good thing though. For example, my pal Emma moving into the house down the road from me when we were 4 years old and us then meeting and remaining friends ever since...........that obviously means I did something to deserve such good fortune, right?
But what about the fact that I'm stuck in a *****ty job, I've lost all but one of my friends and I've spent 20 years on this earth and still haven't found a partner? That means I must be a pretty rotten person to deserve such a set of circumstances, right?
I dunno - it works both ways.
I do believe in fate aswell, but only to a point. I think that, if a person is meant to be in a certain situation, then fate will take them there. But once that person is in that situation it is up to them to make the best of it - fate will only take you so far.

Kay Scarpetta · 10-22-2002, 04:27 PM

Oh yes, there is a reason for everything. I am a strong believer of that and that God does things for a reason.

I also believe in fate. As in bringing together people weather they are friends, lovers, or just plain....people. Trust me, it happened to me last summer.

Titania · 10-22-2002, 04:46 PM

I def believe everything happens for a reason...you may not see the reason right away or for a long time but its there and planned out. That includes all the crappy stuff that comes to make you stronger or teach you something about yourself. Looking back I can match up a lot of not neccessarily good things that have happened that had a very distinct reason for happening. There are some things Im still trying to understand why they happened- like why one of my best friends had to die so young- but i keep myself going by knowing that there is a reason.
I also believe in fate to some extent. Not like, love at first site everything is completly preplanned type fate, because I think that you can control fate...to quote shakespeare "the fault...is not in the stars but in ourselves." I think we are sometimes put in a position by fate but its up to us to act on that fate and make it happen or not happen.

I wanna make the point here that just cos I believe that things happen for a reason that doesn't mean that I believe that God made them happen.
I'm not a religious person - I never have been and I never will be.

ABlairican Pie · 10-22-2002, 05:28 PM

I always feel that when I've met Lisa over the past year that it coincided with something big or important, like last year between the time I saw her in Bellingham, WA., and two weeks later in Bellevue, WA, I found my mother's cancer had returned. And last month when I gave Lisa my banner in Portland and she said she'd give it to her kids at home to look at, I found later that her kids were missing her terribly and...MAYBE my banner was kind of a "peacemaker" kind of gift from mom...that I gave to her to give to them...

I'd LIKE to think so, anyway. I was so afraid to give it to her at first, but...if you can add an ounce of fun into a person's life (especially Lisa's), it's nice to think that God's plan or something was behind it...

ISmellFine · 10-22-2002, 05:31 PM

Yep...I do believe this happen for a reason. Sometimes I just wish I could know what the reason was.
