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.

Thankfully that is known and being handled

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.

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
