Well, indeed...
However, my personal belief regarding things happening for a reason is that shit just happens. No rhyme, no reason, it just does.
And such is life.
I think your wrong with that though. Because everything that people do and say effects the way things are in some way. In either a negative or a positive way.
It seems there is just always meaning in whatever happens.
If someone tells you about some famous painter that you really don't care about now you might just kind of ignore it and not think about it.
But later on down the road you might meet someone you like. If you listened to a little bit of what that person said in the past then you can find a common subject to talk about or at least say you've heard of it a little.
It seems that.
Maybe this is just illusion but.
If you can somehow just imagine this.
Think about education.
Math, Science, Literature, and History.
It's important to have at least a little understanding of the subjects. It makes you a more well rounded person.
Same to understand a little about art, theatre, sports, and things like that. I learned a little bit about football in college. I diddn't really care about it but the concept became a little more interesting.
And the reason isn't to impress people. But to open yourself and your mind to all kinds of things so that way you can have an understanding of what cannot be understood. If that makes any sense. I just feel that the more you understand the more you not only realize about things around you but yourself.
However. With the understanding you might realize things that you would have rather not known or it may come as a shock.
But it just seems that if someone could become that well rounded and understand a little bit about everything. Not to understand everything and be a God or something. But to just have at least an idea. Then maybe they can begin to understand what can't be understood.
Anyways I'm talking nonsense.
Maybe shit does happen. But even so. I think you can make some sense of it.
But your right. I guess it is just life.
