Self-Knowledge Question #26: For Everything Is There a Reason?
Initial post on what I'm doing here.
26. Do you believe that everything happens in your life for a reason?
"Everything happens in one's life for a reason" is something that is often construed as there being an overarching purpose the events in one's life are in service of. I do not hold with that interpretation. Nevertheless, there are usually multiple reasons that cause the things that happen in my life to happen -- and sometimes a fraction of chaos as well. If I actually wanted to sort that out, it would require a whole lot of effort and really not accomplish very much. Identifying the primary factors and learning from them where appropriate is good enough for me.
