Do You Believe That Everything Happens For A Reason?

Question

:) thank you for any help!

Answer 1

yes, I believe that very strongly...sometimes i don't know or understand the reason why something happens at the time it is happening...but later, maybe even years later, I understand...

Answer 2

Well lets say that everything happens and the things that happen were caused by something. To say that there is a reason for something is shady. We attach reason to everything that happens. The reason we attach is dictated by our beliefs, which are shaped by our experiences. I like to look at it from the cause and effect point of view. Everything that happens was caused by something else. You can call that the 'reason', but the term reason seems to relate more to 'This can help me' than "what caused this to happen". 'This can help me' is more an attitude factor than a causal factor. If you can examine what caused the situation rather than how it can benefit you, you have far more potential for growth. Positive spin can make bad situations SEEM good, discovering and changing yourself by examining the cause of these situations can create and attract situations that ARE good.

Answer 3

Yes. Everything happens for a reason and because of something else. The “because of something else” part is easier to understand, but the “for a reason” part is the most interesting. The reason always shows up, sooner or later. Did you watch the movie (I can’t remember the name) with Mel Gibson, where he was an ex-pastor who had lost his faith because of the death of his wife and he had 2 kids, a boy and a girl. The boy had asthma and the little girl was leaving always lots of glasses of water everywhere and didn’t drink them because she thought they were contaminated. And then there was an alien invasion. The aliens were killing humans by making them inhale a green poisoning gas coming out of their veins. The thing that was killing the aliens was water. So an alien entered their home and took the boy. In that very same moment, the boy had an asthma attack and fainted in the arms of the alien, who tried to escape because wounded. In little words, the alien expelled his green gas near the nose of the boy. In those moments, the brother of the ex-pastor killed the alien using a baseball bat and the water left around in glasses by the little girl. The ex-pastor went out of the house holding the boy in his arms and gave him his medicine with a shut. The boy seemed dead, they all thought the gas killed him. But…after a few moments of desperation, the boy woke up. Then the ex-pastor understood why the boy was asthmatic( his lungs were closed when the alien sprayed his poisoned gas in the boy’s nose) and why the girl couldn’t stand to drink water from the glasses and returned to be a believer. End of story.

This "for a reason" thing always happens to me. It's amazing!

Answer 4

Yeah. I do actually. I've watched things i n my life very very closely and I'm not sure for the rest of you but for me and for my life, everything does happen for a reason. I believe I was given an eating disorder so I could grow older and teach people on the subject of eating diorders. I believe my parents got divorced for me to see the truth of my family I never knew existed. I believe that I was hurt and betrayed the way I was so I could learn something and give my knowlage to other people and carry it throughout my life and not make the same mistake again. Must I go on?

Answer 5

I believe that certain situations are created because of certain conditions coming together. I do not believe in fate. But, if you are asking if what you perceive as bad or negative things happen for a reason I would say that yes, there is usually something to learn from difficult situations. Did I confuse you??

Answer 6

If you jump up, most certainly you'll come back down to earth...the reason?....law of gravity. So in general, there's some physical law at work for things to happen. There is no pre-ordained law that was created a millesecond after the Big Bang if that's what you're asking.

Answer 7

Everything happens for "God only knows the reason or reasons". It has to do with us directly, indirectly, or for someone else. For now while we live life it's beyond our understanding. But what little glimpse of it we do have we allow it to guide us in our way of life. Hopefully it will lead us in the right path meant for us.

Answer 8

Yes. Exept the miracles prophets did.

Answer 9

Yes, but not necessarily for the reason that you interpret.

Answer 10

I can't say I definitively do, in personal experience a few things have but then again other things have not.
