mcm1610 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 No, shit just happens. The reason people say things happen for a reason is because you can eventually find a positive in just about any situation, and people go, "oh, see? X happened so Y could happen!" but that's bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Yeah, I'm pretty skeptical that everything happens for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesomexloveus Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 crap i should have made this a poll. and yeah, i agree that most of the time, people say this when bad things happen, just so they feel better about, well, bad things happening.

sgoodcore Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If you don't believe everything happens for a reason that's cool. I'm not sure I do but I do believe out of even the worst things positives come. The positives in certain situations won't totally outweigh the negatives but they will certainly exist.

sgoodcore Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 negative - being on fire. positive - no longer being on fire. i can see your point sam-dog. negative - being on fire positive - exfoliation That's more the proper association duder.

goraiders Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round Some things will rise up so that others come down If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line Prisons will crumble and governments will fall It's the order of freedom to be preceded by walls Cause the truth would be worthless if no one ever lied So we carry our shame in the interest of pride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyheavylowlow Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The only reason people think positive things come from bad stuff is because if it's bad it;s hard for it to get worse. Shits random, deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I agree with Sammy. I don't at all think that everything happens for a reason, but every bad incident doesn't necessarily yield bad consequences. Not to sound like I have a bloated ego or anything, but I really like the person that I've grown to be for the most part, and I probably wouldn't be who I am without negative experiences. It's silly to just say something like, "Oh, grandpa died and it sucks, but everything happens for a reason" but it's not silly to try to take something positive away from something negative.

drabley Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yes. Everything does happen for a reason, though that reason isn't always determined by the people involved or effected. Nor is that reason always completely understood or even recognized. There's always a reason. Nothing is random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentgods Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Life can't be ninjas, puppies and awesome guitar solos all the time. bad stuff happens, because thats how life is, it makes the good in your life look better. i will say i believe bad stuff makes you a better person, you learn resolve and strength, but saying that makes it sound like some giant bearded dude in the sky is fucking with your head. but to a certain extent bad stuff makes you long for the good stuff to return. basically all anyone wants in life is to ride the good for as long as they can.

destroyingthescene Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I don't believe that things happen in a predetermined manner, that God or whatever you want to believe has a "plan". I do feel that in the long run things have a way of working out. If I try and have a positive impact in my life and others', more positive things happen in my life. There will always be bad stretches, but you just waste time and energy if that's all you focus on. Things may suck now, but you never know what's around the corner...

martyk36 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Life can't be ninjas, puppies and awesome guitar solos all the time. This. it took me a REALLY long time to realize this, but it's the gods-honest truth. Dennis Leary has a funny saying that goes something like this: No one is going to be happy ALL the time. happiness comes in small doses, it's a cup of coffee, a beer, a cigarette.... anyway, I'm ramblin'. I'm drinking and just dropped the needle on the new D4 record. this is a large dose of happiness!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
