Do you think that everything happens for a reason?

Question

I watched Signs, the movie a few days ago and it got me thinking......do you think that everything happens for a reason?

Answer 1

In the word of God in the book of Ecclesiastes it says "To Everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under Heaven a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted so as you see oh yes God himeself says it.

Answer 2

yes everything happens for a reason

Answer 3

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Everything happens for one reason to make anothe event happen.

Answer 5

yes... I tell myself that all the time... it has helped me to cope with undesirable circumstances like the death of my father

Answer 6

Thats what everyone says but however I think the forrest gump quote applies more to real life. "Sh*t Happens" I dont think there is reason or logic behind 70% of things that happen on a day to day basis.That being said, tomorrow the sun will rise and who knows what the tide will bring (Cast Away) lol. Have a good day!

Answer 7

Yes, I do.  I feel that I have a purpose in this life, and that I have certain things I'm going to accomplish -- and I believe we meet people and get involved in certain things that were supposed to.

Everyone I've met and lost has taught me something, everyone I know continues to teach me.  Every sport / activity / trip I've been on has enlightened me to something I didn't know before, and in all these things I feel that I've also made an impact on society.

I dont think there are any accidents because I don't believe I am an accident -- I believe everyone has a purpose for being here.

Everything happens for a reason, definitely.

Answer 8

I'm a firm believer in the concept of fate.  I don't want to turn this into a religious debacle, but I feel that I have my life in my own hands.  I choose whether to take the highway to work or the side streets.  Lets say I see there's a lot of traffic on the highway and I take the side streets and run a redlight and kill a kid, that was meant to happen to me in that point of my life.  Was it God punishing me?  I don't believe so.  Was it fate?  Possibly.  Real example:  Instead of taking my typical route to a friends house I took a different route, and ended up crashing into an idiot making a u-turn on a busy street, so if I hadn't taken that route I would've been fine.  But who knows what chain of events would've unfolded if I hadn't hit that Jeep.  Life has a funny way of working out.

One more example.  I couldn't afford school one semester, I didn't know what to do, My idiot roommate left our dorm unlocked when he went down the hall and we got robbed.  Every PS2 game and my PS2 got stolen.  Insurance covered it and I could afford my tuition.  lol being robbed really helped me out in a funny weird way!    Fate

Answer 9

Yes, nothing is insignificant in this world whether a movie shows it or not--it is a universal truth.

Answer 10

I do believe everything happens for a reason. i call it Destiny, and its run by the Fates.. which are mythological goddesses in Roman, Greek and Germanic cultures.

interestingly enough i find my life just seems to have one thing happen right after enough like it was planned.

other days if feels like i am just being paranoid

Answer 11

In my case Yes, I am convinced The Experiences of My Life have happened for a

Reason.

But There are Many Things That Happen to

others that could not Possibly Have Meant to be!

Answer 12

Signs? I haven't seen that movie in awhile. Ur talking about aliens. How do you mean that everything happens for a reason? The fact that the Aliens exist or that they are the cause of certain things that happeh here on earth that can't be explained?

Answer 13

In one word, 'Yes'.

Answer 14

No, i don't think so it just seems that way because when something bad happens usually something good will come out of it
