People say that things happen for a reason to comfort themselves to the fact that this world is completely chaotic and random. People say that God exists to feel like their lives have a higher purpose, or a higher goal. It's a nice idea to think that when you die you'll go to Heaven, or be reincarnated, or that you'll float above everyone else instead of just thinking that everything stops. Stories about one true love exist because it's a comforting thought to think that there is one person in this world who was designed specifically for you. One who will love all your qualities and faults, instead of thinking that no one is designed for anyone and that finding someone who makes you happy is as random as the fact that you were born. No one wants to think that they're floating through this life completely unguided so they make up these ideas, like good bedtime stories. What would life be like if we knew what every cloud would look like, or we knew every single bird would sound the same when it sang? What would this world be like if we could anticipate how many waves would lap the shore in a given amount of time, or if we could set our watches on the predictability of a thunderstorm? Sometimes all the beauty that you're looking for is exactly that chaotic bit of randomness that you try to candy coat with excuses about why they're happening. Stop trying to explain everything once in a while and just accept it for what it is, and revel in that. Maybe all those stories you'd like to believe in really are true.. but if there's no one out there who's completely perfect for you, or no God to reunite you with your relatives when you die, or no real reason behind all the amazing and tragic events that happen in your life all that means is that you are just like the rest of us.. floating in a sea of the unknown.
