Coincidence or "Everything happens for a reason"?

[Warhammer]

Just wondering...

- Who believes in mere coincidences?
- Who believes that everything happens for a reason/serves a greater purpose/from a higher calling?

I actually believe that EVERYTHING happens for a reason.
For example, if I spilled milk all over the floor, it happened for a reason, etc.

I think everything happens for a reason.

Whenever I think about something bad happening to me, or someone else, I just say that it will be ok because now something good has to happen now. I guess that is a pretty optimistic-dreamy way of looking at things, but it gets me through the day.

^Same here.

i would like to believe everything happens for a reason. but when you try so hard at something and you end up failing anyways..... i don't think its easy to write it off as it happened for a reason.



and does'nt everything happen for a reason tho? i mean you failed a test because A) you did'nt study or B) did'nt study enough.

No.

 

[Dr. MIX]

Anything that happens is a result of something else that has happened

Everything happens for a reason... and thus serves to teach us something about ourselves in the long run.

I'm divorced. It sucked donkey balls at the time, but now, nearly 4 years later I'm a much better person for it. One example.

Can I have a little of both? I think some things happen for a reason, but I also think some things just happen.

I want cake, and I wanna eat it too.

Science vs. faith. No one knows except Vishnu and Einstein's ghost.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

The scientist in me has to go with the latter option.

A part of me thinks that things happen for a reason, but you also control your own destiny in what you do.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

....YOU can be the reason lol.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Was it Fate or Destiny that brought me to SHH?

 

[Elisha Cuthbert]

Who else had John Locke read the last part of this thread title to them? God I'm pathetic.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Neither, it was your own curiousity.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I was snooping around for Spider-Man 3 stuff. Look where I ended up. The greatest place on earth.

I definately think everything happens for a reason, to make us better people. sometimes it doesn't turn out the way we plan but it all leads up to something.

 

[The Kid]

I believe there are some things about life we'll never know.

 

[Manic]

I believe everything happens for a reason.

For example, if you contracted AIDS tomorrow, it happened for a reason. The reason? Stop sharing heroin needles with strangers, dumbass!

 

[mierde]

^^^^ LMAO! true though...
