People often say "there's a reason for everything." I think this implies the idea of fate - that something was predestined to happen in order to enrich you; which I interpret as your shaping/development is entirely out of your control.

I prefer to think that "you can pull a reason out of everything." Things just happen; it can be good, it can be bad and other times it just is. Regardless of the interpretation, I firmly believe every experience holds some sort of value from which you can learn from. To learn from our experiences is a choice made by oneself, and only from learning do we make value of the un preferable experiences.

This ramble should be extended further considering the self analysis that took place prior to this statement about life. However, that will take time and I still have quite a bit of homework to complete before day break haha. Consider this post a "save the thought," so you can tune in later.
