HAve You Ever Wondered Why Things Happen For a Reason?

Sometimes things just happen. It is living in a fallen world. Good people lose their money, bad people get rich, people do bad things when young and they pay the consequences all their lives, others do the same thing numerous times and they are able to have children. So what happens the ones who did not bear the consequences, feel they have done nothing wrong, and the one who did get something terrible happen spend the rest of their lives in guilt. The trouble is that when we make decisions, we think it is the right thing and do not know the results. For instances, if one chrges something and soon afterwards, the economy goes down without warning, then should one be blamed for it? It would be easy to take 100 percent of the blame, but there are situations that contribute to it. In personal matters, sometimes the decisions we make that are the wrong ones are because we feel that there is no other choice, even though there is, and perhaps if we took the right choice, maybe we would wind up that maiden aunt who never married or be given the reason to thnk so. The trouble is that no one has the ability to see in the future. As for reason I have no idea. Ij just hope that my not bearing children after marriage is not because I might overlay my children in their sleep or that I have an evil murderous geen that they might inherit or that I am not an empathetic person.

I do believe they happen for a reason....when you look back you can see why...sometimes it takes years..but then when you turn around it's right there for you to see. Yes sometimes we bring it on to ourselves....then sometimes we are just at the wrong place at the wrong time!

I think that those thoughts come to everyone at some time in their life. We usually wonder why things are happening for a reason when something painful happens in our lives. We are just looking for some understanding so we can cope with lies ahead of us.

For me yes it is happened because time has its reason to do there job.

I am taoist,so I belive in that everything in world developing must go along with taoistion.I china,Dao contains great many meanings,and I can't find a word to translat for Dao,so I make a new word of taoistion to traslat the Dao.you can really know Dao after totally learn taoistic culture. I can't say what's taoistion,but I know that taoistion is really exist.Taoistion don't like god whom have itself mind,taoistion go with itself way but can be changed by one's hard working.For example,an egg can be incubated a chicken,and there are two results from a incubating egg,that is decided by environments,all those are containing in taoistion.So a man who want living better must work hard for good results.maybe what's I say you can't know because you don't have taoistion's knowlege.If really like this,I am very sorry to you.

I do believe that everything happens for a reasons. God will not put us in a kind of situation that we cannot handle or overcome. It is HIS way of testing our faith and how strong our trust in HIM which bring us closer to him as well as he wants us to learn from our own mistake. may GOD bless us all..

I am not sure exactly how I feel about that. I do think sometimes we could have done things differently, sometimes not.

I defiantly believe things happen for a reason may it be good or bad. we always learn a lesson from the things that go on in life. some of it unfair, actually in most cases we see a lot of it as being unfair. But we still learn and we still strive on and what doesn't kill us, will eventually make us stronger. I do agree that it is SO much easier to blame other people, and sometimes you're in the right for it, but you also have to blame yourself as well. There are so many situations in life that i regretted and I knew that if I did something different the outcome would have been different...but then again, some situations might not have lead me to the 'positive' path in life. I think things go both ways in happening for a reason and just plain 'ole being unlucky. Sometimes it's just how you think about and how you handle the situation what it ends up being.

I have always thought that things happen for a reason. I might not know or even be able to understand at that point why..but there is always a later when I look back and think....hmmmmmm..so that's what that was all about.

I believe things happen for a reason and just being in the wrong place at the wrong time,too! I have let some things go and they became a problem when they should not of! Example is I have had hemarrhoids for almost a month. If I would eat a high fiber diet,drink more water and clean myself better,I might not be dealing with this problem! So I am blaming myself for letting go on longer then I should! With my finanical siuation has always been my doing! It could be better but it isn't! With my weight,I blame myself,age and how I grew up! I love to blame other people and other things for my problems! I don't like blaming myself,when I need to, because it makes me on the depress side! The older I get the more I hate life!

In one way I think you are right that some things happen for a reason. But for the life of me I have thought long and hard and cannot come up with even one good enough reason for my son to be in the car wreck. There's nothing that makes sense in times like that...

I do believe that sometimes things do happen for a reason! At the moment I normally do not see it that way, and I do like comforting myself by saying that it does. Somehow I do look back and wonder what the unknown reason(s) was but in reality I think if we really think and concentrate on what the probabilities could have been we could actually find out. Last year I lost my job and oh it brought loads of issues for me as loosing my house, destroying what I had at the time impeccable credit and being completely broke. As hard and dedicated that I was I wonder what the reason was for me experiencing all that I did. I do think sometimes though that I was way overboard in terms of hardworking, and often wonder if the job one day could have brought on a heart attack, as I was feeling really sick off and on almost weekly. So although still a mystery as to why I went through all that I am finding that somewhere, somehow there is a reason, I just can't put my finger on it yet. =)

Yes, things happen for a reason and i truly believe that. You only realize it , after it has already happened and recalling the events that led to it. For me, it is not being in a wrong place at the wrong time but it's for a reason.

I have heard this so much. I don't believe it. Why would we be made to suffer so much. If so I very much don't understand.

Hi Tina I think it is more to put us through trials not so much it happens for a reason but to put us through trials Yes I think some things I could have prevented but again it was to late when I realized that I could have prevented it so I have to deal with it

I believe we make our own destiny. It's a question of choices and always doing what is right and always being the best we can be. Alas we are not perfect so sometimes we stufff things up...or our parents did and we pay the price. Sometimes it's simple genetics.

I do believe everything happens for a reason. I look back at my life and everything that has happened.. not much of it was good.. but I know that if I hadn't gone through that, I wouldn't be where I am. I wouldn't have the husband I have today, or the children I have today. Mostly I wish I had better finances, I wish I'd completed high school and gone to college right after.. but then I know I never would have met my husband because I was working at Pizza Hut when I met him and I wouldn't have worked there if I had a college degree, and I probably would not have liked him because he did not have a college degree. So I might have a good job and more money.. but would I be married? And what kind of man would I be married to? A cheater? An abuser? Who knows. I know I wouldn't have these children.. Now, about my finances.. I've been broke basically my entire life.. mostly my own fault. We spend instead of pay bills, we're not smart with our money. We have no savings account (yet). We're usually very behind on our bills, and we have terrible credit scores. Like I said, our own fault. Now I'm in school, and working part time, and very motivated to turn all this around. I'm trying to start a savings account and begin paying on old debts. So why did it take me so long to get to this point? Why couldn't I have done this 5 years ago? I believe it's because we weren't ready. I wasn't fed up enough with our finances to be truly motivated to change them. It's so weird how perfectly this is working out right now. I will graduate from college a month before my youngest starts school.. which means I won't have to pay so much for a babysitter.. how could I have planned this anymore perfectly? And the crazy thing is I didn't even plan it at all! I decided it was time to get a job to help us out financially, and while looking for a job I began thinking about school. I e-mailed a school for more information, and they called me right back and within half an hour I was enrolled and began a couple weeks later. It happened so fast and mostly on a whim.. but I do believe it was meant to be.

Hello Tina! I think they happen for a reason. And I think that sometimes they are like a surgery... we wouldn´t like to pass through it, but it´s needed. Blessings!... Dainy

Yes I really wonder why those things happened and what is the reason. In my life many things happened now and this makes me alert in every angles asking why is this happening. What was wrong I have done. I asked one of my niece about what is going on to me and why unpleasant things happening into my life. She doesn't answered clearly because even she don't know the miracle of life. One time I was about to sleep I ask my husband about the same topic we are discussing right now. And told him " why this thing happening to me?" we both wonder why. But same with others he don't know the exact answer why. I concluded then that maybe God is doing some preparations for us that there will something to happen in the future that we need to be ready. That there must be some important things in the future related to what is happening at present. In general it's a preparation.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it is us who has the problem. If the situation favors us, were very happy. if it does not for us, we tend to blame it on other people. It is being human.
