[b] Volition § 234

'While Intelligence merely proposes to take the world as it is, Will takes steps to make the world what it ought to be. Will looks upon the immediate and given present not as solid being, but as mere semblance without reality. It is here that we meet those contradictions which are so bewildering from the standpoint of abstract morality. This position in its ‘practical’ bearings is the one taken by the philosophy of Kant, and even by that of Fichte. The Good, say these writers, has to be realised: we have to work in order to produce it: and Will is only the Good actualising itself. If the world then were as it ought to be, the action of Will would be at an end. The Will itself therefore requires that its End should not be realised. In these words, a correct expression is given to the finitude of Will. But finitude was not meant to be the ultimate point: and it is the process of Will itself which abolishes finitude and the contradiction it involves. The reconciliation is achieved when Will in its result returns to the presupposition made by cognition. In other words, it consists in the unity of the theoretical and practical idea. Will knows the end to be its own, and Intelligence apprehends the world as the notion actual. This is the right attitude of rational cognition. Nullity and transitoriness constitute only the superficial features and not the real essence of the world. That essence is the notion in posse and in esse: and thus the world is itself the idea. All unsatisfied endeavour ceases, when we recognise that the final purpose of the world is accomplished no less than ever accomplishing itself. Generally speaking, this is the man’s way of looking; while the young imagine that the world is utterly sunk in wickedness, and that the first thing needful is a thorough transformation. The religious mind, on the contrary, views the world as ruled by Divine Providence, and therefore correspondent with what it ought to be. But this harmony between the ‘is’ and the ‘ought to be’ is not torpid and rigidly stationary. Good, the final end of the world, has being, only while it constantly produces itself. And the world of spirit and the world of nature continue to have this distinction, that the latter moves only in a recurring cycle, while the former certainly also makes progress.'

Reason at the same time the medium for the Spirit and the Spirit its self, is in its self and as such is internal, but the actions of the unliving or non-living are externalities and are not governed spiritually as that property is not immanent in them. Reason happens for somethings, not all things and thereby that reason not everything.

Answer 3

True, but that reason isn't necessary traceable. In other
words, the reason might not be predictably causal,
but it must be causal because it happened. Even if
the everything is a misinterpretation that misinterpretation
still happens for a reason. Therefore, the source and/or
the observation might be flawed, but the happening
must have happened for a reason even if the contributing
forces can't be identified.

Answer 4

Some people think everything happens for a reason, other people think a reason makes everything happen, others think there's no reason for anything to happen, and others think there's a reason, but nothing ever happens, and others think there's no reason and nothing ever happens...

Good luck!0!

Answer 5

True. The reason is, To ask why and learn. If you're not learning and growing from everything that happens in your life you are stagnate. That is a waisted life.

Answer 6

Things happen for a reason, but not always the right reasons.

Answer 7

Maybe not. But we can always find a reason for everything that happens.

Answer 8

I personally believe believe everything happens for a reason. Alot of times when something bad happens, its for a reason...to teach you right. :]

Answer 9

True...because if you think about it...no matter what you do...there's a reason for its outcome...(not meaning religious or pre-determined). You do something, that effects something else and that's that. The reason is in the past, not something in the future. (unless you decided to do something that will shape the future the way you want it).

Answer 10

Yes everything happens for a reason if something wrong happens with us we feel bad but truely it has happened for our good. so, always remember that every thing happened is for our good only and U & me always thing that something happend has a reason and it is our mentality that every thing happens for a reason.

Answer 11

True..

Even though we may never know the reason,
but eventually it's for the best..
