A Random Musing
"Everything happens for a reason." A universal philosophy. In fact, it's one I live my life by. But is it really true? Is it just something we say when life screws us over? Did an optimist, like myself, just decide to say it one day? (Because you know, everything WILL get better.) Sure we might learn our lesson from an awful event, but did anything else good come from it? Couldn't we have learned it a better way? What about cancer? Death of children? War? Terror? I would be blind to say the world is good. So how could these things really have a REASON? It's all arguable, I suppose. But with all the odds weighed against it, how can everything happen for a reason? I guess it's just a belief I have, so I won't go crazy because I think everything is evil. It's how I cope. That's what beliefs are for, right? Maybe. I have no answers, but I'll still live by this philosophy, if only to keep from going crazy. But you know what? Miracles can happen, too. Maybe it's just the luck of the draw.
