Worst Philosophy Ever:  "Everything Happens for a Reason"

 

Everything Happens

 

 

"Reason" is a security blanket

I'm predicting this thread will get locked pretty quickly. Not because of the topic itself but because of the way you presented your position.

Also, clickbait title.

This isn't just your regular forum.

nevertheless I will adjust some of the content

thank you

you are now awakened

@Nak Khid  I was referring to "Worst Philosophy Ever"

That's hardly the kind of title that sparks a reasonable debate. Not to mention, you haven't even elaborated on your position so we don't have anything to go off of when talking to you about it.

@Extreme can you lighten up a bit

you are being an extremist.

People claim "everything happens for a reason"  all the time but never get called out for it

Obviously many things occur without explanation yet people keep saying "everything happens for a reason"  as if "the universe" is a being  intentionally giving them a message of some sort in the form of a pigeon dropping

You haven't even told us yet if you believe everything happens for a reason, I must have hit a nerve

It might not be happening for a reason, but life is following a direction towards something. Even though that direction is paradoxically already achieved.

I disagree life unfolds in a state of random chaos

then we adapt to it and label the adaptation as "reason"

Everything is exactly as it is. Unfolding in a myriad of ways.

Right, everything has about 5 or 6 paths

what you call chaos is maybe logic from a cosmical perspective.

I agree, from a broader perspective everything is happening from universal intelligence, but when examined under a microscope it may seem chaotic or nonsensical.

Your right in the sense that life as you know it on Earth is in a state of fairly predictable chaos.

It might be chaos, but its not random. Its extremely intelligent, pattern filled, wise chaos.

sounds suspiciously similar to  "everything happens for a reason"  (EHR Lite)

'Worst' is a relative concept.

'Philosophy' is a bunch of thoughts, and it's relative.

'Ever' is a huge underestimation of the unpredictability of reality.

'Everything happens' is an assumption. We can say that nothing happens as well.

'Reason' is a thought connecting two parts of reality in whatever way(s).

That's just one way to debunk this thread and to open your mind for other possibilities beyond where you stopped.
