Title: Things happen VS choice ?
Post by: flying squirrel on Dec 16, 2010 09:04 pm
Some say " things happen for a reason "

If so, what happens to free will, freedom of choice ?

If we choose ~ then how can this be something " pre- planned " or meant to be ?

two sides of the same coin ?

what you choose and how you choose happens for a reason
the beauty is, you will always have a choice

perhaps the events in our lives unfold and shape- give definition to who we are... and pave our destiny

IF " what we choose and how we choose happens for a reason " then

we don't really have free will or a choice  8)

IF there is already a reason, then our choice has been made for us
we are just following a pre-destined plan

Yes, things do seem to happen, don't they? 

And then we make our choices within the frameworks of the happenings...

When we are in tune sometimes we recognize the hidden advice from the Lord in our friends. Our intuition over these matters puts us at peace for awhile: Knowing that we have found our path and the way again. Thanks Serena for showing me more clearly the framework of some of my own happenings so that i can more easily find the correct choices.
