Is it necessary for everything to have a reason?

Answer 1

No. Have a piece of hot apple pie and enjoy the freedom.

Answer 2

No, most definitely not. Having a reason for everything takes the magic and wonder out of life.

There is no reason for me to sit and watch a sunset or look at the stars or laugh with friends but it's those small things that give life much joy....it gives meaning and a "reason" for living......

Answer 3

For an interesting perspective on this question, you might research the ideals of Buddhists, who believe that there are no reasons for anything. Everything just is what it is in this moment and that's it. It's amazingly simple, but my Western world thinking brain is still having a hard time wrapping itself around that one.

Answer 4

No, but people seem to want to pinpoint a reason for everything. Kind of an obsession if you ask me. Some things just happen.

Answer 5

no, but if you r a strict believer in god and other superstitions then almost all the answers will lead to god
there are some questions that cannot be answered. for ex
1)why were u born only to your parents
ans:you could have been born to someone else but it is "GOD"
who made it that way
all the things go back to god.
hope this clears your doubts

Answer 6

Every argument has to have reason because how else can you base any and every argument on. Reason is the ability of the human mind to form and operate on concepts in abstraction, in varied accordance with rationality and logic —terms with which reason shares heritage.
Discussion about reason especially concerns:
(a) its relationship to several other related concepts: language, logic, consciousness etc,
(b) its ability to help people decide what is true, and
(c) its origin.
Reason, truth, and emotion or passion
In literature, reason is often opposed to emotions or feelings, and desires, drives or passions. Others see reason as the servant or tool of these things -- the means of sorting out our desires and then getting what we want. Some would say however that many of the key philosophers of history (e.g. Plato, Rousseau, Hume, Nietzsche) have combined both views - making rational thinking not only a tool of desires, but also something which is itself desired, not only because of its usefulness in satisfying other desires.

At the same time, reason sometimes clearly seems to come into conflict with some desires (even while not being in conflict with others) giving us the impression that reason is separate from emotion. Only in humans, choices are sometimes made on the basis of an association of ideas which is an artificially constructed model, rather than an un-inspected association based on raw experience, and this “feels” different to when one is won over by a passion supported by raw “feeling”. The opposite is also unique – we sometimes feel that a passion has won over our decision-making “unjustly”, despite having lost its argument, or perhaps (in the case, for example, of a reflex action) not even having been a subject of argument before the action took place.

The question of whether reason is in fact driven by emotions is important for philosophers because reason is seen by almost all philosophers as being the way that we come to know the truth, and we see the truth as something which exists outside of our own consciousness. If reason is driven by emotions, then how can we ever know that we are not deceiving ourselves about what is true by denying undesirable information in favor of a more pleasing construct of our world? Nietzsche was particularly moved by this question.

A potential argument against this is that one's desire for an objective truth is greater than their desire to believe what is convenient regardless of the falsehood of their belief. Further, if one's reason acts as a means of sorting out one's desires, and one could separate their desires into two categories, less intense, short-term desires which could be regarded as "lower" desires, and more powerful, long-term desires which could be regarded as "higher" desires. From there, through reasoning one could determine that having knowledge, regardless of whether or not it produces pleasure itself, is useful in achieving the satisfaction of one's higher desires. At any rate, it is likely that one conception of truth is developed on part at an unconscious level, as opposed to being completely determined by conscious reasoning.
