Not All Things Happens For A Reason, Many Because Of Wrong Decisions

"Everything happens for a reason"

That's what we always think, and everything has a purpose in this world, which I believe is true, but not the first line.

Why?

Your father got fired from his job because of certain reasons. Chillax, it happens for a reason. Then your family has no more food to eat, nobody finds a job, and your life started to become miserable, you steal things, did crimes, and you get sick until you die.

Your boyfriend left you in the vain. Chillax, it happens for a reason. Then you started to become hopeless, your life become meaningless to you, depression crowded your thoughts and took over your body, until you decided to take your own life.

You intentionally threw a banana skin on the floor, then someone accidentally stepped on it, he slipped down and banged his head on the concrete floor. Chillax, it happens for a reason. The man suffered from a concussion that eventually leads to a coma due to blood clots and other brain complications caused by his fall. A coma that lasts forever.

You drive recklessly and hit an old woman passing on the street. Chillax, it happens for a reason. The old woman died on the spot and you ran away from the crime you did, leaving the victim bathing in her own blood. Then you ran away from everything and kept on hiding everywhere until you become exhausted from running and ended your own life.

You pressured your son to study harder and to follow your path and the future you've planned for him. Chillax, it happens for a reason. Your son become more rebellious and ran away to stray on the street. He found a bad peer and had a dismal life until you die without having reconciliation with him.

See? Everything happens for a reason and puts their lives in miserable situations. That is absurd!

Sayings are just sayings and everything does not happen for a reason! Sometimes, things happen due to wrong decisions.

Your father got fired and your family has no more food to eat, but it shouldn't be the reason to steal things and did crimes. It was your wrong decision that put your life in misery.

Your boyfriend left you in vain. But it doesn't mean that it's already the end of the world. The pain can be mended without taking your life away. It was your wrong decision not to pull out yourself from distressing life, it was your wrong decision to end your own life.

You put someone's life in a coma because of your negligence. You should have thrown the banana skin in the bin and it was your wrong decision to throw it on the floor. And what happened? You got full of regrets, regrets that you will carry until you die due to your wrong decision.

You drove recklessly and took away someone's life. It was your wrong decision to run away from your crime and got a miserable life. You missed so many things in life, you missed so many opportunities in life, you missed enjoying your life, all because of your wrong decision. You should not have drive recklessly, you should not have run away from your crime. Sometimes, our conscience is our best enemy, it can even kill us.

You put pressure on your son's life but it turned his world into a perilous one. It was your wrong decision to control his life. They said that parents know best, another saying that is not true all the time. You can lead your child's journey but controlling everything can be toxic. Let him navigate his own ship and take things considerably.


Don't blame your fate, blame yourself!

God never put our life in vain, it is us who puts our life in vain. Everything that happens is the product of how we respond to situations. We are in our current situation because of what we did in the past. We are living because we have surpassed the obstacles, some die because they choose to give up.

Bad things indeed happen for a reason. But that is to draw ourselves closer to Him, to learn lessons from our mistakes, to be a stronger and better person. However, it's our wrong decision to be a coward, not to face the consequences, the trials, the challenges, and it's certainly our wrong decision that changes our lives miserably.

Don't blame your fate, don't blame God, blame yourself. Because it is us who is controlling our life. It is us who is executing things out. It is us who is choosing the decisions to follow. It is who is leading our way towards the destination we want to take. It is our decision whether to accept the challenges or to give up.

So next time when you hear that line, tell the person that not everything happens for a reason. However, there can be a reason for everything. To give us hope, to let us grow, to make us stronger, and to allow God to enter our lives.

O hope this article makes sense to you. Happy Monday.

Thanks for your time.

I can totally relate. When something bad happens in out lives, we settle to the saying "everything happens for a reason" it has become our escape and excuse. We sourgrape to lessen our guilt on the things that we regret to do.

That saying will become a mirror later on, later if we found out the purpose of that certain situations in our lives. Mostly our current situation is the result of our decisions, but later on that saying “Everything happens for a reason” will play it's part on the later.

Yes. Some bad things that happen to us are consequences of the bad things we did. Taking it to the pov of our body. Whem some people get old, they face many complications and their health is severely affected, compared to others of same age range. Little did they know, what they do to their body when they were young, did not just punish them in their youth, but is just coming out one by one in old age.

I think that saying is only applicable to those people who are always careful of their actions. Yun bang nag ingat ka naman, pinili mo naman maging mabuting tao sa lahat at maging marangal pero nangyari pa din yung mga bagay bagay na di mo ginusto. Napahinto ko sa ginagawa ko after ko mabasa yung first 6 paragraphs 'coz it does make sense. Mga sitwasyong nagyayari sa paligid natin tapos ang tanging masasambit na lang nila nangyari na eh, wala na tayo magagawa without assessing themselves if they did something wrong or recklessly.

I will agree with this too Ms. Jane. Ako din sinasabi ko lagi na, "Everything happens for a reason." Pero minsan, napapaisip na din ako na, yun na ba yun talaga. Siguro, may pagkakataon din talaga na nangyayari ang isang bagay sa di mo inaasahan, kasi sa pag-aakalang tama ang naging desisyon mo. May mag instances sa life ko na, iinisip ko'ng "Tama na siguro yun" , pero doubtful ako sa naging desisyon ko, yung gusto ko sanang umatras o ibalik yung time na hindi pa nagbunga ang desisyon na ginawa ko pero huli na ang lahat. Nangyari na ang nangyari. Gaya nung nag.cheat ako nuon kay MGD. Well, anyways, Share ko lang naman po hihi.. Pinagsisihan ko na yun..

I agree with your point mostly "not everything happens for a reason" it's our choice what we choose . Like you said if father leave job by some reason then your condition is so bad . Then why he do such work that he would leave the job. But sometimes reason happen accidentally , you don't want to drop anything related to wealth , Heath etc but it gone without no reason Thnx for this wonderful article mam jane

Yes, your publication makes a lot of sense. When we are mentally irresponsible we blame others for those wrong decisions. But even that being wrong can lead you to mend your life after your bad decisions. And take a better path which then leads you to your better destiny. It may be a long road but it can be a comforting one.

So agree to this, sa maling desisyon na lahat nalang sa Kanya isisisi, I mean everything happens for a reason kung hindi ikaw ang nag decide for yourself. Basta yong dumadating nalang na problema na di inaasahan, yong ang nangyayaro for a reason. Ay basta, ganon 😵

Many bad things happen without any explanation. But I agree with you that it's our own decisions that lead us to most of the situations we live in. And we're the only ones responsible for the consequences. We mostly will have options to choose when something bad happens to us, except for death. And only we can make that choice for the good or bad. Have a nice week!

If we are to judge this grammatically, there is still a reason for everything that happens or occurs in one's life but the only problem is that we are used to the future occurrence forgetting the past.

Yes, a person might die today and some will say there is a reason for his or her death and that's very correct. I mean why would the person die if there was no reason or cause of the death?

Either the reason for each occurrence in our life was in the past or it is for the future but whatever be the case, there will always be a reason for everything in life.

So instead of us saying that everything happens FOR a reason, we should rather know that everything that happens is because of a reason. Not always looking forward to why the thing happened because most times the reason we are looking for had already passed and is in the past and in this case, that is where the wrong decisions you spoke of comes into play.

Nice one Jane by the way!

Yes. Not all things happen for a reason, but there could always be a reason for everything. I guess I mentioned it there 😅 For the bad things that happen naturally and accidentally, there are really reasons for that, but for those intentionally, it's already because of wrong decisions.

Tama po ang iyong mga sinabe Ms. Jane Lahat ng nangyayare ay may dahilan, wala tayong dapat sisihin na ibang tao dahil tayo ang gumagawa ng ating kapalaran. Sisihin ang ating sarili huwag mandamay ng ibang tao, kung may pag kakamaling nagawa. Tanggapin at gawin ang tama para lahat ng pagkakamali ay maitama natin. Ako lagi ko po sinsisi ang aking sarili dahil sa mga nangyayari samin, sinisisi ko ang aking sarili kaya hindi ako nakapag aral ng college dahil wala akong talino upang mag scholar sa school upang walang bayaran sana, Pero ganon pa man Naging positive think ako na isipin ko nalang ang kapakanan ng aking mga kapatid .

I have found when people say, "Everything happens for a reason." They are simply at a low for words. And in hindsight we can always point to A leading to B leading to C. You are right, though. Most people refuse to acknowledge their decision making process.

As they say "humans are the architect of whatever happens to them". We can't keep blaming fate for whatever happens to us. We humans have two options, either to choose the good or bad one.

When we choose the good choice, we will surely enjoy our lives but when we choose the bad, that means the wrong decision, then we should be ready for the aftermath.
