Things Happen for Reasons

When an action takes place at any given moment, does it happen for any reason? Lots of things have at least one cause and one effect on you. Anything can lead to a change in one’s life because something either good or bad can happen. It could even have an effect on anyone in the vicinity of the occurence for the same reason. Everything has a reason of happening as seen in the examples of carrying something heavy, being focused on something else, an going out for sports.

If someone was carrying something big and heavy, something bad can happen sooner or later. If any one person was carrying something large down a narrow hallway, there could be a wet towel lying on the floor and he or she wouldn’t be able to see it and then he or she would just fall over. The effect of the action would be opening or breaking the object and spilling everything inside. Another effect would be that the person has to start all over again until he or she can get through that hallway without having to continuously trip, fall, and start over twenty times. This shows a good example of something that happens for one perfectly good reason.

If someone was focused on anything that doesn’t involve the current subject, that can also have an impact on that person’s grade. In addition to that, the teacher could be standing behind him or her, watching what he or she does. If that did happen, he or she might get into a lot of trouble and possibly not get any work done in the process. If class is over and he or she did not gett the assignment completed, it’s a great possibility that it would be for homework. This shows another event that happens for a not so good reason.

Going out for sports also has a few good reasons of doing so. A person would probably just like the sport he or she is going out for. If his or her friends go out for that sport, most likely, he or she would, too. Another possibility is maybe they willl go out for that sport just for some fun and some enjoyment. That is another example of one thing that happens for many reasons.

This brings us back to the question: does everything happen for a reason? The answer is: yes, mainly because everything that happens in the real world must have a cause and effect. If there is no cause and effect, then nothing would be able to happen. So, whenever there is a reason of something happpening, it has an effect on that person and anyone else in the vicinity of the thing that occured.
