I truly believe everything happens for a reason. If something sad or bad happens in someones life it is a copping mechanism to believe that it happens for a reason and everything will turn out ok. For example if you did something bad and go to jail for it, it can teach you to not do it again. It happens for a reason to help you learn it is bad and not to do it. If someone you love has died, it may be hard to think this way but it happens for a reason, everything will turn out to be ok in the end. One day you will finally get to reunite again with that loved one. If you really think about it, everything really happens for a reason. If you go through life with this in your mind you will come out even stronger then when you encountered the problem. When something good goes right in your life it still happens for a reason, it may be a good event or a bad event it still happens for a reason. So I would suggest to go through life with an open mind to believe everything happens for a reason.
