Do you think everything happens for a reason?

When you live with an it is what it is attitude, you get nowhere. 'Hope' is an amazing quality to have.

There’s an explanation/reason for most things but I don’t think it’s tied to some grand master plan of our lives. People like to believe that because it gives them a sense of control in a world that is largely out of our control.

no, I think we're just riding the chaos as it unfolds and we just like to give meaning to things , it enhances our experience.

I do think everything happens for a reason. Ya know, it is what it is. 🫤

No I don't. I can't rationalise cot deaths, teenage cancers etc etc against that philosophy

Not at all

Sometimes I wonder how I get out of some messes Ive dealt with in my life.🤔

I do have the "It is what it is" mentality.

I don't... Something's are caused by others, something's are just random chance

Well not necessarily a good reason but I suppose

No, I don’t. Occurrences may have direct and indirect causes, but otherwise life is pretty random.

Things happen from the choices we make.

And in direct contradiction, no. I am a nihilist and do not believe there is any real reason or meaning to the universe.

Does everything happen for a reason? No.
But is there a reason for every happening? Yes.

Not everything, no

I mean, in essence yes. I believe the universe is deterministic.

Everything happens for or because of reasons.. or lack thereof

You mean like -

Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

No

Yes
