    do you believe in fate?

    or that everything is random?

    I believe that everything happens for a reason, but sometimes we will never know what that reason is.

    I believe that everything happens for a reason. Definitely don't believe in luck. Anyways it's too depressing to believe everything is random SO I'd rather believe the other thing - even if no one can proove either is true.

    Whenever something bad happens to me I must condition myself to believe it's for a reason or else I feel like shit. Comforts to believe it's only because..

    Superstition and fate are almost like a religion to me sometimes.

    One of the worst feelings I've had is that I believe/d I was destined for something , but everything else was at odds with actually sorting it.

    To answer your q. , things look random if we don't seize things that were earmarked for our destiny.Fate and life are much more complex than we try to think , IMO

    Perhaps, but the reason might not be important. Actually, I don't have a fixed mindset on this. At first instance I'd believe no. At second instance perhaps, but yeah, good chance we don't get the reason at all or it's a reason that doesn't center around us/humans/earth. Maybe we're part of a larger pic, so little that the reason everything happens does not concern us?

    Actually I think that people tend to go round in a trance.
    But maybe our energies are more interconnected and that our consciousness exists on different levels , maybe different places , beyond time.

    So yeah , we're meant to advance , but we hold ourselves back.
    Fuck knows...LOL

    I tend to believe that everything happens for a reason. However, what the reason might be at times may be difficult to understand, especially during a tragic situation.

    But perhaps, sometimes things just spiral out of control, and there really is no clear cut answer as to why.

    indeed. i think its a vast oversimplification in multiple ways.

    for my opinion, concisely: yes and no.

    well kind of but not exactly. i prefer to believe that your fate is in your own hands and you are in charge of the situation most of the times

    of course everything happens for a reason; stuff doesn't just spontaneously occur.

    this does not mean i believe in fate, that's just retarded. but if you get shot in the face, it's because somebody raised a gun and pulled the trigger; it didn't just happen.

    Yet the split second before the gun went off, there was a 50/50 chance that the trigger would be pulled. Thus in a way I believe that everything happens for a reason yet that reason is in someway making you stronger with randomly occuring events...

    I don't believe in fate or events having deeper meanings.

    We are in charge of our own happiness and destinies, sometimes things don't go as planned and sometimes they do.

    I agree with this and I do agree that some stuff happens for a reason but most of the time you do have control on what happens

    and I do believe that what ever "life" gives you- you make something of it and you treasure it
