absolutely! Though it took me a long time to actually realize it...Everything both good and bad happens for a reason and has benefits and positive influences on ones life...Ppl find it strange when I say that being a survivor of child abuse, rape, domestic violence, loss of a child and so on but I really do believe and in fact KNOW that all those things no matter how tragic and horrid they were happened with benefits to me in the end....

oh yes i believe that everything that happens in your life happens for a reason!!! and i have too many incidents to shed light on which happened with me and made me realise that what's happening is for the best. One incident that i would like to share wth you here is that i was dating this guy few years back and i was reallt attached to him being teh first man in my life.I would do everything just to stay with him and he would reciprocate the feelings back too.Soon i realised that he's all wrong for me.When we started out he had pretensions made up for him about everything and in order to do that he even lied to me about many imoortnat thinsg in life and when i would get to know about these things he would apoplogie and would feel really sorry about them.But then as things got advanced i knew he wasnt teh one for me but tehn i couldnt turn my back on teh relationship i have invested so much in,my family knew,my frineds knew...and i was in a fix! Then soon we had a fall out and he vanished for no good reason without informing me about his whereabouts. i was shattered but all my loved ones told me taht it was destined to happen cos i deserved something better than him and soon that came true.afetr our nasty break up i met the man of my dreams ,and this time i know its for real.he's everything i ever wanted in a guy and he loves me like crazy.... So this is one of teh reasons of me believing in teh philosophy of everything happens for a reason!!!

Yes. I have always questioned why some things happen in my life but then later on, I see why it happened. I am usually glad that some of the things happen because it makes us wiser and smarter. It also makes us enjoy and respect the things that were not given to us and it also makes us appreciate the new things we get later on. I believe everything does happen for a reason, even though we do not like it sometimes. I think better things will be in store for us later though.

Yah! I definitely agree with you. That's one of my motto, and if you just think and analyze everything, it's really true. Things not just happen it has purpose or reason.

Yes every thing happens for a reason. Most of the time things happen in our lives and to us because of the decisions that we make. Every thing has a cause and effect. some time a decision that we made a long time ago can have ether good results or bad results. So we have to be careful of our decisions every day.

yes, everything that we experience and see or hear, everything that is said to us, everyone we meet, everywhere we end up by chance, delays, tragedies and unexpected surprises, all happen for a (good) reason. They're all there for us to learn from, all part of our life and destiny and are meant to help us, teach us something, improve ourselves or help someone else. We don't always see the reason but it's definitely there. It's all orchestrated by a higher being who we cannot understand because He is unlimited whereas we are mere mortals and cannot always comprehend his great plans in the larger realm of our minute lives. This doesn't mean that we don't have any free choice in our lives. On the contrary, we have the choice of HOW TO REACT to our situation. We may not have a choice in how we got somewhere, but we do in where we're going from that point. But yes, everything happens for a higher purpose, I believe.
