Does everything happen for a reason ?

BlueVeins · 22-25
Everything has a cause, but not a purpose, so yes and no.

@BlueVeins I was going to respond, but what's the point, you said what I was going to say. 👍
a reason, a season or a lifetime

@saragoodtimes just a reason
@usher any of the three
usher · 41-45, F
@saragoodtimes oh right
curiosi · 61-69, F
Yes and sometimes that reason is I'm an idiot.

In a way. Cause and effect. One action is followed by another action.
usher · 41-45, F
@SW-User very scientific. Can you break it down
SW-User
@usher I already did. 🤷‍♀️ If you're talking about predestination, I don't believe in that.

Nope.
Go looking for rationale in a world devoid of it and it’ll drive you crazy
usher · 41-45, F
@Picklebobble2 very interesting

Not at all...ppl get sick for no reason...shit happens!
usher · 41-45, F
@Wiseacre Maybe there is a reason why they get sick?
Wiseacre · F
@usher u can do eveything right and still get sick..genetics dont always at play. The world is random..good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people.
usher · 41-45, F
@Wiseacre Agreed

Nothing happens for a reason. But there is a reason why everything happens.
usher · 41-45, F
@hunkalove cleverly put

What reasons could even justify any of the horrors that befall innocents?
No.
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
Well for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So if something happens, the reason is something caused it.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
In one sense yes. E.g I am full because i ate. My thumb hurts because i hit it with a mallet. Etc
usher · 41-45, F
@Entwistle I agree with you. I have no examples as per moment. But I suspect therre may be some. I have no rationale to my reasoning but I believe it exists.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@usher Fair enough. We are all entitled to believe what we believe. Cool.
usher · 41-45, F
@Entwistle Thanks for saying.
Piper · 61-69, F
Sure, in a way. If an airplane crashes on a house, for instance, the reason is that the plane crashed on that house.
usher · 41-45, F
@Piper Maybe it was another reason
Piper · 61-69, F
@usher For those who believe in "karma" and or a higher power controlling such things? Yeah. Aside from that, even...there is always a maybe.
MOONAMONA86 · 36-40, F
Yes, everything happens for a read but it depends which path you choose first then it’s happens for a reason
usher · 41-45, F
@MOONAMONA86 Agreed

I believe that would somewhat violate freedom of will.
usher · 41-45, F
@SW-User Do we have free will ?
HannahSky · F
No, that's not true.
usher · 41-45, F
@HannahSky Are you sure? How can you know ?
HannahSky · F
@usher "Everything" seems impossible.
