Beliefs.

A lot of people use the saying. Its a saying that usually isn't used due to force of habit, or generalization. The person stating it believes in it, trusts it, maybe even takes for granted that they are correct. I think its rubbish.

"Everything happens for a reason."

No no no.



My car accident didn't happen for a reason.



John's truck didn't get stuck in some mud for a reason.



This picture isn't ridiculously insane for a reason.

"Everything happens because of a reason."

Its incredibly true. I wrecked my adored Saturn because I was being careless and not thinking correctly. ("Even the best drivers crash" - Lewis Hamilton.)

Johns truck got stuck because it was a two wheel drive ranger rolling over what we thought was grass and dirt and ended up being mud and water.

That picture is ridiculous because I get drunk and photoshop sometimes. It happens. I.E.






Anyhow. I think it would only make since if people saying this term believe in god. I mean if they think something traumatic or painful (which is usually the pretense for such a term to be used.) has happened for a reason to perhaps better the person or change his/her life from there on out. Don't they sorta have to believe in god? I was talking to my friend Sydnie about the subject, she said she believed in the expression, but doesn't in the least bit believe in god. I suppose there can be an exception for some. But fuck, knock it the fuck off society. Don't say it to me, otherwise a major amount of respect will be lost.
