While stating that things are planned ahead and the universe works accordingly is a great escape route during tough times, the idea is debatable almost as much as the existence of God and Paulo Coelho’s quote on universe conspiring to help a person achieve his/her dreams. [break]
Pujan Rijal says, “I have always believed that the people we meet, the places we go to and everything else that we confront in our daily life are a part of our destiny. Everything happens for a reason and they either turn out to be a blessing or a good lesson.”
On contrary, Dipendra Paudyal posted a counter argument on our Facebook page, “We are in control of our lives and make our own choices. If everything happened for a reason it would mean our life was planned out before we were even born and that we have no control over anything that happens in our lives,” and concluded that the quote is just there for comfort and consolation.
Kuber Sodari who agreed and said he is in absolute terms with Rijal added, “There are a lot of things which are undefined, unbelievable and unexpected that can’t be explained in words. Thus, we need to believe that whatever happens, happens for some reason.”
“Life is full of surprises and some things will always be a mystery. Like in the history of organic chemistry if Wöhler hadn’t accidentally synthesized urea, the vast development we see today would probably have never happened,” shared Prasim Gurung.
Similarly, Sushant Khanal said, “If I agree with the idea, I’ll stop trying to change things and will hopelessly seek reasons which aren’t even there. I’d rather disagree with this cliché and make efforts to have my way.”
