It was brought to my attention that there is a need to know why. Not why anything in particular, just "why." I remember someone once told me the answer to this universal question was "why not?" You know who you are. Although this isn't really far from the true answer. In fact, there is no answer to why. Because there is no question of why. At least there shouldn't be. Despite what we want to think, our lives are completely out of our control. There are infinite different factors that determine the outcome of our lives every day! No matter how hard you try, you can never control it all, and see it all. I believe everything happens for a purpose. Maybe not the little pointless things like why is the wind blowing at 25 MPH and not 23 MPH. There is some randomness in Nature that has no effect, but there is so much that does happen for a reason. Bad things happen to good people for a reason. Good things happen to bad people for a reason. And some of us find us stuck in the middle of these scenarios for a reason. Perhaps it's not a question that need be answered, but a faith in the outcome that need be obtained. At times it's hard to have faith in God. We wonder "why" He does what He does. But we shouldn't. Who cares? Through the passage of time we can see reasons for events in our lives and other's. Why is not important. Through faith and time, you will find your answers without even having to ask a question.
