The honest truth is that there is no real truth (except the honest truth, obviously!). With that being said, the real truth is that there is nothing that happens without consequence. We may never see or know of the consequence of our actions or words, but they exist. Each and every one of them. Think about it. Everything you say, everything you do. Butterfly effect baby, butterfly effect. You're the reason Charlie Brown broke down in tears in class last Tuesday.
Seemingly random events do occur. They are random. They don't mean anything. "Everything happens for a reason" is just a way to convince yourself that one bad thing after another isn't a bad thing, but a sign of good things to come, because, surely all these bad things are happening so that something good will go your way? It's nonsense. Shit happens. There's no reason for it. It's shit. It's just part of the everyday grind of life.
I can understand using the "reason" theory as a coping mechanism with all the bad things that can occur, often all at once. It's like putting in a mental backstop just where you might start really panicking and jump the coop. If it works, it works, and that's great for whomever it satisfies. I'm just letting you know that it doesn't make any sense. Life is random, not a gently guided bus ride towards a pre-destined stop halfway down Cherry Tree Lane.
Good random things happen too, don't get me wrong. You're just not as likely to recognise them as easily as the bad things, usually because they seem small and insignificant in and of themselves.
I don't know if my first sentence of this post means that I think everything I wrote afterwards is wrong. I can't be bothered spending more time trying to figure it out. Have a good song.
Most days, most days stay the sole same
Please stay, for this fear it will not die
If I had a boat
I would sail to you
Hold you in my arms
Ask you to be true
