Everything Happens For A Reason

I agree something as insignificant as a post it note falling on the floor seems to be a minor thing and does, perhaps, have no bearing on anything at all. If, however, that post it had something important written on it, after seeing that it had fallen, you might realize a need to keep things that you need in a safer place...just one example of a reason...does not have to apply to God teaching you that lesson, just a feasible reason for the event and the lesson that it could teach. Secondly, when someone passes and others say "Everything happens for a reason", part of that is the fact that no one has exactly the right words to express their sympathy sometimes. It is a very difficult position to be in. One has no idea how the person will react to the loss. One cannot determine the best thing to say that is neutral so that no further upset is caused while an attempt at expressing sympathy. I do feel there is a reason for things, but do not expect that all people view things that way.

In major incidents like a plane crash and there being a sole survivor, who knows? Maybe that one person is left alive because they have something very important to contribute to society, have not yet met the purpose that God had for their life or any number of other possibilities. I do not think that the others who died were not valuable people. To the people who mourn their loss, each one is the single most important person to those who mourn them at the time. It can be as simple as luck for the one survivor. I don't believe that to be the case, due to my beliefs, but I do see your point and I realize that fate or a predestined plan seems difficult for many people to come to agree with or to understand.

Oh...just to let you know, your post was not too abrasive. You expressed your opinion and, aside from possibly being more on the blunt side, you expressed yourself well. You don't need to worry about sounding abrasive. If this is something that bothers you, it's natural that you will write your opinion with conviction....nothing wrong with that.
