do you believe everything happens for a reason?

Answer 1

Yes, I do. Everything and everyone happens for a reason. Even though at times we may feel we have no reason to be here, there really is one. Who knows who's life we may touch and change that one person who needs it? That's why I am SO against suicide as a way out. You just never know what the reason for your being here is, so don't waste it.

Answer 2

I'd like to. I don't know what i believe.

Everything happens for a reason. Whether you mean Fate and Destiny and stuff, yeah, there's that. But there's also Free Will. Stuff happens for a reason, because the reason was Caused by YOU... It's all very complicated.

If you bark your shin on the table, it happened for a reason... the reason being that the table was in your way.

The day to day stuff that(as far as we can see) have ne great impact on everything else. But i don't think that means that EVERYTHING is chaotic and thrown together by mistake.... Yes, there is such a thing as Destiny, and Yes, there is such a thing as Free Will. Ultimately, you will reach the Destiny God wrote for you, but you are and you are NOT a car on a cable, you can make turns and hit the breaks and speed up and leave this track. But it's all one road, anyway, and you will end up where you were supposed to. Little choices that you make WILL alter your destiny. It's like a spider's web. You can start at one end, and follow the strands haphazardly, and make turnings and double back on yourself on a whim and for really important things. But Ultimately, you WILL reach the center at SOME TIME.

It is very presumtious of us to ask. But there comes Free Will again.

And yes, reflecting on my life, I do think there are things that happen for reasons. You get hurt and you feel yourself the most misunderstood sod on the face of the earth. But you rise up stronger than when you fell. You learned something. It's not a matter of FAIR, or RIGHT. It just IS. You have to meet Him halfway. You can't just sit back and expect your life to be perfect. if it's not, you can't just sit back and blame it on somebody else, "oh, why bother, my life is SUPPOSED to suck. thanks for nothing, fate." You have to use that Free Will God gave you and make a cahnge for the better. Rember, "the Lord helps those that help themselves."

And if weren't for "accidents," I wouldn't be here.... I AM living proof that things happen for a reason, even if they feel like a mistake. I got brought here by "accident." becasue of a choice that someone made. And because someone chose to give me a chance and spurn abortion, i'm here. So that pretty much wraps up my theory. You could get handed a crappy situation, but it was MEANT to happen, so you make the CHOICE to follow through and MAKE the best of it.

Answer 3

Yes, at this point in my life absolutely. Last year I lost my wife to cancer, now I loved her but I wouldn't say I was head over heels in love okay. It was very hard to watch someone you love pass away before your eyes, but it also changes you inside and makes you more aware of life around you, it wakes you up and helps you deal with things differently, Now I didn't realize I was being prepared to handle this from a comforters position I thought I needed a hug? But this past year I met a woman on a Tuesday for lunch, went on a date Saturday and Sunday was holding her families hand as their father starting passing away. No way was this really happening again, but it did and we fell In Love and I don't mean run of the mill I mean full blown soul-mate two of a kind love. Now it retrospect going through what I did help me help them through their tough time and found My One True Love along the way. So yeah I'd say I believe things happen for a reason.

Answer 4

Yes. I believe that many of the things that we experience come from God above. God does will us to make our own choices. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Peace and God Bless.

Answer 5

I think so.It wouldn't make sense if things just happened randomly,then what would be the point of life?There's a reason we're here,there's a reason why the sky is blue,there's a reason why no one's perfect.

Answer 6

YES EVEN IF YOU CAN'T GET BACK FAR ENOUGH TO APPRECIATE IT:
A farmer's horse ran away one day and all the villagers came to him saying, Oh what bad luck you've had! Your horse that you need to do your work is gone!

The farmer shrugged his shoulders and said, Good luck, bad luck. Who knows?

Several days later, the farmer's horse returned, followed by a herd of wild horses!

Oh what good luck you have, cried the same villagers! Not only has your horse returned, he has brought you many horses!

The farmer again shrugged his shoulders and said, Good luck, bad luck. Who knows?

One day not long after, the farmer's son was trying to break one of the wild horses. He was thrown off the horse and broke his leg.

Oh what bad luck you have! Cried the villagers. Now your son has a broken leg. Who will help you?

The farmer shrugged his shoulders and said, Good luck, bad luck. Who knows?

Not long after, as the son was recuperating, an army came through the village and took all the young males to fight in a war in another region. They did not take the farmer's son because of his broken leg.

Oh what good luck you have! The villagers cried once again. Your son has been spared being taken off to war because of his broken leg!

The farmer shrugged his shoulders and said, Good luck, bad luck. Who knows?

Who knows?

God knows.

Answer 7

No, I dont. Something just happen, good and bad. Sometimes bad things happen due to an accident. No reason they just happen.

Answer 8

I believe nothing happens for a reason.

Answer 9

Yes, either you have invited the situation into you life, or those of close association have, as in parents, or the situation is presented to you as a learning experience.

Sometimes the situation is so huge, so awe-full, we can't imagine why or how, but it is still a lesson.

Sometimes it is our responsibility to address it ourselves, in ourselves. Sometimes it is our responsibility to accept it at face value.

Answer 10

life happens for a reason! that reason and purpose is based on your personal perspective as a human being. life is both planned and unplanned.when you believe in god he has a plan and purpose for your life! often it is not the one you choose.His plan will be far more meaningful and fufilling then anything we could come up with! the key is asking his guidance and try living our lives in the center of his will,pray about it!!
