Cecelia AhernI'm trying to make some sense out of the phrase "Everything happens for a reason, " and I think I've figured out what the reason is - to pissed me off.
About This Quote
When someone gives you the advice that everything happens for a reason, it's probably because they want you to get pissed off. Some people like to put things in terms of karma. Karma is the Hindu idea that good things will happen to good people and bad things will happen to bad people. It's an interesting idea, but it's probably not what's going on here.
If everything does indeed happen for a reason, it means that the reason must have some kind of logic behind it. If it has logic, then there must be some kind of rationale behind whatever happened. If so, then the reason must have some kind of purpose behind it.
And if there is a purpose, then there must be something that was accomplished.
