I've always firmly believed that everything happens for a reason. While this is a wonderful belief to hold onto, I've begun to wonder if it is, indeed true. I read somewhere today that perhaps, there really is no reason for anything that happens.. things just happen by coincidence.
Is this really true? Is life not a series of interconnected events? I've grown up believing that one thing i've done, one situation i've been in, has led to the next and so on. And it makes perfect sense in my head. I have a flowchart, almost.. leading from incident A to incident Z. So am i wrong? Is it all really one big coincidence?
Maybe there is some element of truth to it after all. Perhaps things do happen irrespective of what we've been through before. Maybe it really is more along the lines of, well, if its meant to happen, it will, taking whichever path it may choose. Its such a simple thought, but it changes so much. I've spent many a years looking for reasons to understand why something played out the way it did. Maybe I need to stop looking for reason.
Perhaps, sometimes, we just need to go with the flow.
Some situations still make me feel eerily like everything is linked after all. There are some things i've been struggling to understand since a long time now, and lately, the way things have been happening, I can feel myself reacting the exact same way that someone I know did with me. Back then, when it happened to me, it made no sense whatsoever. But now, it all seems like it was inevitable.
Confusing post. I wonder if i'll get what I was trying to say when I read this some years down the line. It feels so right to quote a few lines from this song i'm listening to:
Kyun koi paas hai
Door
hai Kyun koi
Jaane Na koi yahan pe
Aa Raha paas ya door mein ja raha
Janu na mein hoon kahan pe
Yeh dooriyan
In raahon ki dooriyan
Nigahon ki dooriyan
Hum rahon ki dooriyan
Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan
