Do you believe everything in life has a reason or purpose? I strongly do, and it proven true so many times in my life. I have met people and then several years latter there was a clear reason why I met them.

Yes I do believe that everything in life has a purpose. We may not know it at first, but eventually, like you said, the reason becomes clear. I believe we meet new friends and lose old friends for a reason as well.

Everything in life may have reason or purpose but I don't believe I have to do with every one of them. I don't believe my next door neighbor's dog taking a pee in the park while I'm taking a vacation in different state has any meaning to me or has any meaningful impact on my life. I know I'm stratching it a little but the way I see it, it's not what happens in life but how I handle it that makes a difference in my life. There's too much things going on in life for me to worry about reasons or purposes of all of them. The way I see it, it doesn't make a difference why things happen. In most cases, things will happen one way or another, or in this case, for one reason or another. I would concertrate on how I'm going to handle it when it does.

Yes, I believe there has a reason or purpose of everything in our life. There is no accident. We've met people for a reasons.

The old phrase everything happens for a reason comes to mind as each time I face a new issue I can't help but wonder what the reason is. As truly all I want to do is live in peace but okay I will not question.

I believe it's true... Everything happens for a purpose and a reason... and it do happen when it's about time so.. Everything isn't an incident...I agree on that..

I do think that everything in life happens for a reason, whether we know that reason or not. I certainly think that our actions might sometimes serve a purpose.

I don't necessarily believe in "fate" in that sense, but I'm not entirely opposed to the idea, either. I mean, I couldn't tell you why we're here - so the idea of a plan or a grand design, whether it's from a supreme being or just the universe and our reality running in an endless loop, sits okay with me. I happen to think we reconcile all things to make sense of them, so deciding that something was meant to be gives a great feeling of comfort when it's something that worked out well. And it can certainly help people to keep moving forward. If life is what you make it then fate and ultimate purpose is included in there for everyone. Even if it has design, it's our doing in the end. I don't think any version of purpose takes free will away.

Yes, I do believe that everything has a purpose. the purpose might not be known or even apparent at first, it may even take decades before the reason is known, but there is. actually for everything that is happening, there's a simple, general reason, it happened because you'll learn something. what that something is, is for you to figure out.

A man who had inside knowledge on the inner and outer workings of the world told me that life has no purpose. He said that humans only incarnate into earth in order to be slaves. He also said that the goal of every human being should be to stop reincarnating into earth so they can break away from slavery. I half believe him.

yes i believe everyone has a reason or purpose for his existence. I also had thoughts regarding my purpose in life and whenever i extend love, care, help i feel the reason why i exist. i also believe certain things happen for certain reasons and i might be thinking too much but i think all the reasons and purpose exist to maintain equilibrium amongst mankind.--
