How do we really know "for what reason" certain things happen and that its because of "this and not that".


Hi folks.

Won't name any extreme or explicit examples, then again, most of us already KNOW it and ALSO, for SOME matters (hence why I actively disagreed with my "obsession" err "accusations" - but don't worry, no grudges held, and its more "my" problem than "yours" but anyway) some things said (despite how different and "in a category of its own" some of them are) can very well be said the same about OTHERS, but I was wondering...

How do we know WHY certain things are happen and what they really are a result of? FOR instance how do we know, and why do some if not many of us at least strongly believe, that people doing wrongful deeds to others do so not just because they are themselves total "scum" or turned evil and selfish due to greed etc but because someone has hurt them in the past (that is, if they do not TELL us that)? How do we know what happens in certain err legal establishments (yes, I know there are words for them, but I would like to reduce social stigma related tensions by referring to them in related dictionary definition like terms) happen for reasons related say due to lack of empathy in the outside world and not for some direct reasons or certain folks just being very selfish or even CRAZY on their own level, considering how they may not even have any information about what happens in the outside world?

How do we know or why we assume someone is potentially "this or that" if they decide to, out of curiosity, question matters and come to a SATISFYING CONCLUSION that covers EVERYTHING including in potentially "unique" territories?

And on a different and slightly lesser note - is it possible for folks on the INTERNET to debate it all in a satisfying manner, WITHOUT confrontations, suspicions, personal attacks of any kind (and not JUST for reasons that are "its not allowed"), especially as some folks like ME may at times choose to avoid talking about or talking some things DIRECTLY, but also wanting basic understanding of life, rules, human condition and emotions etc. Also, is it possible that we do not and cannot KNOW all reasons as to "why" such things MAY happen and we can only at times logically guess? And even then, some of us are more in the right, others in the wrong - and sadly, we don't live in a kind of free world where we can think and say everything and not worry about consequences and whatnot, oh well... And our world isn't divided into simple "good" and "bad" categories like that alone, and we are told we are ALL responsible in this life, like it or not. Anyways...

Oh brother, rather than read the essay - a quick opinion. Doesn't mean I'm right.

Nothing happens for a reason, none of us has a destiny, none of us is here for a particular reason. The "because of this and not that" - you can make an analogy - luck. Because a good majority of what happens to someone in life is in fact, luck.

You can certainly make efforts to get things to go your way, but luck is still a factor.

No reason or rhyme behind any of it. IN fact, I always found a bit egocentric - those that really believe they are here for a reason.

To those that do believe they are here for a reason. Well, in fact you are. Your parents copulated - this is why you are here.
