do things really happen for a reason? or it's just a piece of an imaginary point of view to make an excuse to the reality. Sometimes, it applies to something you are looking forward to, but didn't happen? I want to know if this statement is real or it's just subjective? I'm in a middle of a situation where things at the moment don't happen the way I'm expecting it, so i think having a clear view of this will help me understand and accept things.

No, I don't believe that everything happens for a reason. I do believe people create their own reasons for the actions they take, that is why we have a judicial system. I don't think God intends for people to steal, commit murder, etc...Those people created those reasons to do those things...God did not make those things happen.

Yes and no. I believe that life is just the transference of energy. The universe is constantly balancing itself out. You want to understand and accept things; I think that you should try to reach this through meditation.

An Individual has the freedom to perform any action he or she choose to do,but its outcome is always beyond his or her expectation and control.Things happen according to the laws of Nature driven by the forces and principles of universal life.Universal life controls the individual life which is intimately linked to the whole of cosmos. It is often advised by some spiritual teachers to do our best and leave the result to God.

Hi applejoy! I believe so that things happen for a reason. If that happening turns out good, it is because it meant to be that way and of course it is because we did something to make it work or turn good. If the happening turned out to be bad or the way we do not want to, it is because it is not meant for us or our decision is not the best solution or that something better is coming. It is how life we make it.

Some things they happen for a reason. Granted, the reason might not be obvious, but it is there. Then there are some things that just happen. Life can have a lot of purposes. There are things that happen and it allows us to live a fulfilling life. However, there are days where it just seems like we're going through the motions and it is without purpose. Then there are times where it is full of a lot of purpose.

Well, it can't be proven. And it can't be dismissed too. It is just up to you to believe it or not.
