things happen for a reasson

Note me


since i was little i've hear that all things happen for a reason, call it destiny, call it God. and since i was little i thought it was a lie, yeah i still believe it is but i was just wondering, maybe i'm wrong.

sorry to bore you, you don't have to read this, this is more like a self reminder more than anything :3

i'll go on
i've heard that God have a plan for everyone (i was raised catholic then i became atheist when i was 12, now i'm agnostic), but i think people just look for someone to blame, for both good and bad things, bad things mostly. they involve everything into this "God's plan" i must say i can't stand some things, one of them are lies, others are blindness and stupidity. i cannot say i know it all 'cause i know i don't and i can't but the other day i heard something that i couldn't stand, so bad that i had to leave the room.

this person was talking about a child that was born retarded, and that the family see it as a miracle, having a child an all wich is good but they called it "a blessing" as for me, being like that is everything but a blessing "innocent, like their angel" that's when i stood and left. i said nothing 'cause it wasn't my place after all but i got mad, i mean... what about the child? i'm sure is not a blessing for her, it's difficult enough to try to live into this world being "normal" and i know there's no such thing/definition for "normal" but you get my point, life is hard enough to even born with obstacles and then try to make it through. seeing your parents get sad, seeing your parents try harder and harder, seeing them doing the impossible to get your medicines is not what a child want, want it or not children  notice, they know, we know. we just want our parents to be happy... to not to suffer and most of all we don't want to be the reason of their suffering. it helps no one to have a child like that, at least is what i think, i mean, wouldn't you trade anything to change that? wouldn't you give up all that you learned from it to return her to normal, to make her stronger, to make her healthy? i know i would if i were their parent

a father being killed by a stupid bus driver in front of their children is part of a plan? a bomb explosion in the middle of a school is part of God's plan? being rapped, being kidnapped, being killed, being scared... living scared, i don't think that's part of any plan, we should stop blaming God, destiny luck or anything you might believe in and start blaming us, start to make things right, start to learn instead of just cross our arms leave it all to this higher/wiser being, we can change our lifes can't we? we can make our own plans, at least i wish to believe in it.


i have to say it was never my intention to be rude or to be offensive, my apologies if i was.

This journal made me thing quite a bit. But I don't think i agree with you. I'm not sure why these things happen, but I know that sometimes they help us and can lead to greater things.
It just seem like we must be here for a reason... What's the point of living if there is none? Why are we all here?
But I don't know, maybe your right...=/

I couldn't agree with you more. I have always believed that religion is a bit of a sham and all it does is give people a reason to keep going on hoping that maybe "god" will save or protect them somehow. You have to take responsibility for your own actions and you cannot blame an occurrence on "fate". I had all my photo gear stolen from our rental car 2 days ago while on a holiday do I blame anyone....yes I blame the thief....do I think it was "fate"....no. There were many factors that contributed to what happened and if even one variable had been changed for example if we parked somewhere else it may not have happened. you are in control of your own destiny and there is not a set course for your life to take. If you are not happy with the way your life is then you are the only one who can change that and no one else will do it for you.

Thanks, I am actually hoping that my insurance will cover it because if it doesn't I am screwed.

I agree with you. But I understand why their parents call their child 'a blessing'. Once someone told me that the parents that have to live with this kind of kids become sweeter than they used to be. Sure, they have a lot of problems, but once they get used to it it's easier to just love. The only bad thing about that is that the child can grow up with parents that are overprotective, and that causes psychological damages.

I think you're right in the part when you wrote that it's kind of mediocre just standing in the middle of a catastrophy and just think that things happen for a reason and not to do a single thing to change that. But also I think that random things like the fact that I met someone at some place in some part of my life happened for a reason because that helps me to grow as a person. And if i'm lucky maybe I help that person too :)

yeah they're sweeter or so i've heard but calling it like that is very selfish, i do know they just wanted to be positive and all but it's still a little annoying. and i think the other people giving you looks all the time and criticizing you is way more problematic than having overprotective parents, society is cruel and sometimes heartless.

i do believe you can come cross with someone who will change your life, someone you can learn from and grow with but i don't believe that happened for a reasson, i believe you can give it a purpose, a meaning, you not destiny, you can chose either to walk away or to learn from it

I agree completely. I don't want to interfere with another person's religion if it's doing no harm, but sometimes it really does irritate me when things like that happen/are said. I mean, the parents probably were upset over it and were trying to find something good in it, but some things just aren't right...
And if somebody would rather sit around and hope for their God to save them or help them instead of doing something themselves, there's something very wrong with that.
...I hope what I just said was understandable x]

So true!
I totally agree with you. :nod:
We write our own destiny everyday, it's not God's fault.
