[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate when people say they ate blessed. Does that mean some people are cursed? I guess so.

The New Age equivalent are people who say "everything happens for a reason," which means their success and someone else's failure are the result of the universe instead of a million other reasons.

Both are said by people with no manners, essentially, as are humblebrags.[/quote]

Can someone explain to me the “everything happens for a reason,” philosophy? I have a friend who thinks this but if you say “oh, why was that poor guy killed in a carjacking” (or some other tragedy), she will get impatient and say “you don’t understand” but then won’t explain it.  [/quote]

My mother used to say this a lot.

The underlying assumption is that life is a learning journey and that the universe is brimming with an intelligent consciousness that arcs towards justice and love.

The belief connects to other beliefs that the a universe is alive and creative and continually setting up opportunities for our souls to learn what we need to learn to grow .

Some lessons are harder than others but what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.

St Paul also encouraged early Christians that everything works together for good [b]for those who love God.[/b] [/quote]

Praise the lord [/quote]

So much truth to that. People who say the other person just lucky have no idea how much good he or she has done and hence discard the blessing as luck. [/quote]

What a simple minded answer. What about the 3 year old with terminal cancer? Why doesn't he/she get blessed? [/quote]
