do you believe that there is a reason for everything?

I believe that there are reasons for things happening but it is more of something causing it than an event leading to something happening. I hope that makes sense. I choose to believe that everything in this world is interconnected. That our actions here and now in some way affect some things happening there and sometime in the future. I could think of two specific experiences: (1) Breaking up with someone I thought was the love of my life. That whole experience was a horrendous ordeal but you know what, a few months later, I started seeing Boyfriend and now I know he is the one for me. (2) Last year's actions and inactions led to the last couple months of enlightenment and new sense of belonging and content. Things do work out in the end but I also believe that for that to happen, the person has to act to make that happen. Take care, Shiloh!

i strongly believe, watch heroes from season 1 to present. it will show you how things get hooked up and still there is still a reason for that happening. could blow your mind just thinking how things happen there.

Definitely, I believe that "there's a reason for everything". There's a reason that I have to live until now. There's a reason why I have to quit for my job. There's a reason why my boyfriend has to leave me and works abroad. Every thing you do has a reason. It maybe hard because sometimes you have to sacrifice some thing/s, but never an instance that no one is guiding you through. You may not notice it or even realize it, but there is someone leading you in the right path. We maybe astray and lost because of our doubts on His plans, yet when we acknowledge His presence, everything will be all right.

I think there is, but many friends and acquaintances strongly disagree. A meaningless universe simply does not appeal to me. The results may not be immediate, but I strongly believe that for every action there is a reaction, and that in the long run everything works out for a reason. That reason, I believe, ultimately has something to do with making the universe a better place and the creatures in it smarter and more decent. Sometimes that is hard to fathom, but it has to be true, because anything less than that is unacceptable.

Yeah,I believe that everything that would happen to you has a reason. Its a matter of acceptance the fact there is some instances or circumstances in life that happen with a reason. It could to change something in you like you attitude or something development in your self. It is for us to accept its either constructively and destructively. There are some accept it constructively which makes them a better person and others accept it destructively which they think they having nothing to do of it.

I strongly belived that "theres a reason for everything".From the very start, God has his reasons why he created the univeres or the earth.According to the Bible,he created the earth because it will serves as a home for all the creatures that he will be making. That those are the animals,plants/tress and ofcoures the very important of all of his creations, US! Theres a reason for everything. Theres a reason why you were born and why you are still enjoying your life. For what reason is your existence, that would be your task to find out but don't forget to ask God because according to the purpose driven life by Rick Warren, the only one that can answer of the use of something was the one who created that something.Well maybe God will not be telling of our purpose directly to us, but we can discover for it by our faith. I do believe that theres a reason for everything.Learn to overcome those difficulties in life, you are right, maybe life is difficult sometimes but just thin of it remember there a reason why God gave us such problems, that's because,he wants us to be strong in life while we are living. We can't avoid from that difficulties, all we should have is the courage and strenght to overcome such. Thank you for this very interesting discussion. Happt posting.
