Just A Thought ~ EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON?

Karma is not predestination. The present is open-ended; our life unfolds as we go along; moreover, we change it all the time, to some degree. And we can certainly learn to look at things in such a way that we may respond differently to the changes of life than we used to do.

So often, we hear people say: "Everything happens for a reason," but this is really not so. Does cancer happen for a reason? Do people get killed in car-smashes for a reason? Who or what is in control of things, deciding what will happen, and why? Things happen as a result of causes, and each effect requires and involves many causes, not just one.

Free yourself! There is no need to look for a reason or purpose in it all. Give life a purpose ~ a positive purpose ~ by living well and seeing, feeling your place in it all.
