Everything happens for a reason (cliche I know)

But sometimes we all need a reminder. Yin and yang. Sometimes you need to see the dark in order to see the light and all that good stuff...

Children that develop leukemia happens for a reason?

[HippyL0ngst0cking]

@voidergary had 4 or 5 open heart surgeries so the question of why do children get sick or why are they born with defects has been prevalent in my mind since I was 6. 23 years later, I've settled on this. I do believe in reincarnation, (although some do not). And I belive the purpose or reason behind a child getting sick or dying is to effect those around them. As a wake up call of some sort. I agree that life never hands us more than we can handle. And I think that the children who do get sick

[HippyL0ngst0cking]

@voidergary are more than strong enough to handle it. IMO they have served their purpose regardless of how short of a time they may have been "alive" in our eyes. My sister is still very much alive - a "miracle child" who wasn't supposed to live past puberty if she survived her surgeries. She's now 23. I do believe she was born the way she was in order to affect my parents in some way shape or form, and possibly even myself. A lesson that was supposed to be learned. And to be honest, I dont

[HippyL0ngst0cking]

@voidergary think that lesson was fully learned. 16 years later, I got sick. And though I believe strongly that *I* learned a great deal from my experience, I'm not sure whether or not my parents learned anything.

In an attempt to not make this about me (also because my mom reads/watches this channel and I dont feel like getting into with her), I'll present a different (true) story.

An 18 year old was running wild, living with her father who was physically and sexually abusive. Into drugs etc

[HippyL0ngst0cking]

@voidergary She did the drugs in an attempt to escape the bs at home. She tried to leave multiple times but no one else in the family would take her in and her father wouldnt allow her to leave. She got pregnant accidentally by her boyfriend. With an extra mouth to feed, her mother took her in as her father no longer wanted her there. She finally escaped the abuse. Before the child's 1st birthday she died. I dont remember how, and it doesnt matter. The mother still very much struggles with it

[HippyL0ngst0cking]

@voidergary 20 some odd years later. I could of course be wrong, but I see the child as an angel who saved the mothers life. Put an end to her abusive situation. When people die, it's because their purpose was served. Whether we see it or not. perhaps their purpose was served in death itself and the ripple effect it has on those around them, instilling that life must be appreciated, how short it is, take time to stop and smell the roses, be present, do what you want NOW, say what you want NOW

[kilozombie]

I know so many people that have survived or suffered from cancer.. Like 25 and thats in my small town, thousands of people suffer from it and it's spreading like a time bomb about to set off.

[myloveformusic12]

umm.....WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!

[booklover1425]

Doesn't nessacarily apply to everyone. It may have been a blessing in disguise but let me ask you this: if that logic goes for everyone, what was the reason of my dad dying when I was ten? Losing my house and everything in it?

[followerofChrist157]

Thumbs up if Ksicsfaces led you here

[Alicia420K]

i GET exactly what shes saying.

i agree with her 100 fucking percent.

i stongly, firmly believe EVERY little thing happens for a reason.

"]bad or good. strait up, everything.

[imDilan]

I disagree, but you have an interesting view on things.

[MsShortygirl]

i do think that some things might happen for a reason but not everything like for example we are all going to die eventually its just suppose to happen like you are old and get sick but if you in a car accident or you are murdered dont think that it really meant to be it just happens i dont think that there really is a plan on the whole world and how things happen i think thy just kinda happen

[Binki2001]

u dnt hav that much of make up vids u should change it from make up channel to something else

[Greathiway]

@HippyL0ngst0cking "dying is to effect those around them"

I think this is just a type of deep narcissism of people that feel they need to make of a story to help them grieve.

And I dont think Any of us need to lie to ourself about some extant meaning in order to get through life difficulties.

" I agree that life never hands us more than we can handle"

Thats obviously false since people do die: this is the definition of a life overwhelmed.

[auksina]

well,in my opinion thing do happen for some sort of reason,but we make just take the next step forward to evolve.
