Do you believe that things happen for a reason?

Question

DrPepper12 · Accepted Answer

Here's what I do believe in:
Karma
Schadenfreude
Destiny
Love
Deja vu
Freewill
Forgiveness
The Force

Here's what I don't believe in:
God or anything related to it
Fate. Fate is NOT destiny by the way.
Vengeance or revenge.

*Fate and destiny are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings. Fate refers to a predetermined course of events that is beyond an individual's control, often seen as inevitable and dictated by external forces. It is considered fixed and unchangeable. In contrast, destiny involves the potential future shaped by personal choices and actions, allowing individuals to influence their path. Destiny is more fluid and can be altered through conscious decisions, reflecting personal growth and responsibility

Yes, the reason is causality. Every action has a reaction, every effect has a cause. So if something happens it does have a reason. Like if a woman is a single mother, there are two separate causes, one, she had sex and got pregnant. Two, she isn't in a relationship, or never was for whatever reason.

It isn't a trial, or growing stronger through the flames. It's all choices, even if we are absolutely ignorant of the consequences when we make them. Or if we are not the person who is even making them.

Yes it's the consequence of a chain of events, most of which are outside of your control. These event chains all tangle up and effect each other making the outcomes unpredictable.

If you look back at everything that has happened to you and even though in that moment of time you thought it was a bad thing but it turned out to be a good thing in the long run yes..

I believe everything happens for a reason there's always a message or something to be learned from it so yes

I don’t buy into the hands of fate  We make our own luck and experience the results of other people’s choices every day There’s no plot line that will make it all make sense in the end
