Random or Connected?

Connected, most definately.

In Chuck Klosterman's “Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs”; he imagines two distinct ways to look at life. One says that everything happens for a reason, and two that states, life’s daily encountering are just pure luck.

I’ve lived through enough, already, to say that I believe everything happens for a reason. Somehow, the things we go through and the paths we choose, depend on our perspective of the way life works. To this day, I can’t tell you how life is operated, but I know that there is no such thing as luck. In this world, you have to make your own luck.

Sometimes, I want to believe that life is random, and anything can happen, just because (for the sake of adventure filled days). But, in a tug of war situation; life being connected to whatever it is, sounds much more realistic, as apposed to just pure luck.

I guess part of my reasoning is because I believe in something up there. Something up there that helps us control our lives; keeps things in tacked even when we’re at our worst. Fate, destiny, signs, coincidence or what you will. It’s out there. Plus, that makes me feel a lot more secure, and much less alone, thinking that someone is helping me walk through life.

Maybe this has something to do with the way I was brought up. Maybe that’s only influential to my thoughts. My thoughts may just be abstract and crazy, but its how I’ve viewed on things for a long time. And it never once made me think twice.
