Everything Happened for a Reason?

[city]

All things are influenced by previous events, so things just don't happen.

[badsekktor]

things happen because of previous events but it doesnt mean that there is a reason why these things happen.

It is a part of being a rational entity that we tend to find reasons for things, explainable or not, we wanted to find answers to whatever questions we have in mind. this is what separates humans from the rest of the creatures here on earth. animals, insects, etc exist because it is in their nature but humans needed to satisfy curiousity thus the search for reason for existing or for things that happens in his/her life

New Year's eve celebration in Metro Manila...

someone catches a stray bullet in the head...

It's random.

Like says the bumper sticker: Sh*t happens.

God plays dice.

The reason is... someone fired a gun.

haha

the reason: time's up for the poor guy

i have a friend who claims to see spirits and claims she can communicate with them (i guess everyone knows someone or knows someone who knows someone like that )

sabi nya the spirits play with lives.

Pag trip nila kunin ka, malas ka.

ganyan ganyan lang. No reason. Trip lang daw.

I asked her kung kelan nila ako kukunin.

Di pa daw muna... pero malapit na daw hehe

OT na tayo sir uls, pero di ako takot sa spirits. From experience, all I had to do was magalit, takot na sila.

From then on, di na me takot sa multo.

yes, Sh*t Happens...

like most tsikoteers, "law of cause and effect."

if I put God in the picture...

God wanted Moses and his people delivered from Egypt... well nobody from Moses generation reached the promised land and we know why...

there are times that God is behind it. we can distinguish it. if it happened for his Glory and not ours.

ill agree with Theveed.

things happen because we did it. or we did something to cause it.

Things just happen. Forget the reasons and don't think too much.

What's important is accepting things as they are and how well you can make do with the circumstances you were given.

Kumbaga sa poker there are some days you'll be dealt a bad hand. What you do with your lousy cards is what matters.

I agree with the second sentence. Assuming God is the end-all and be-all of existence, who is to say that it's not in his way to act through randomness? Then again if His reasoning is unfathomable to us mere mortals, why try to fathom it? The 'reason' for an event which happens may not be the real reason it happened in the first place!

Ika nga, paulit-ulit ka mang madapa, ang importante bumangon kang muli at harapin ang iba pang pagsubok. Iba-ibang tao, iba-iba ring diskarte sa buhay.

yes, everything happens for a reason, whether its a result of your decision or by accident. i can't explain it though. mahaba....
