Simple answer…yes
I am a Jewess.
Jewish belief is that everything does happen for a reason.
Some things we learn why they happen right away.
Then there are things that take a while before we learn why they happened.
And then there are those things that happen and we never really learn why they happened. Those are the hardest to comprehend and understand.
There are a number of events in my life that I truly wish I could understand why they have happened; but I don’t think that I ever will.
I know how the interview I did last night took place; he found me online. But, the why????? I don’t know…maybe someday. It would be nice if the result brought me plenty more page views – my only source of income (actually it’s ad revenue from the page views).
Some people believe things happen because G-d planned it that way.
Others believe fate or Karma have a say in the way things happen.
And there are those who simply think “that’s just the way it is”.
I believe that everything happens for a reason because, the alternative just doesn’t feel right…it comes out of thin air!
