Chance or Reason?

Charlene says that everything happens for a reason. I'm not so sure. In fact, I don't think so although I would *like* for it to be true.

I believe that things happen as a consequence of what we do, but also happen randomly, out of chaos, not out of any reason.

What I would like to see is evidence -- personal evidence -- that things have happened for you or to you out of some sort of plan.

Or are we never to know the reason?

Is every bad thing *meant* to happen to us? Is every good thing a result of fate and not our own efforts?

If I find an old lost letter, was there a reason for me finding it? If I am prevented from going to a party because of the weather, was there a reason for it? I've Googled this topic: It is full of sites that answer Yes as well as No. No one knows. But what do you believe?
