A sudden want to work this out in my mind thought and since literally no one reads my posts (I can see the stats) why not plop this into the wide open hemisphere right now.

You hear everyone always saying, everything happens for a reason, go with the flow. I mean, really? Believe in your higher power: Jesus is going to hop right up and be your personal savior. We let the global climate change happen because God has a plan while we all just flow along thinking “everything happens for a reason.” And then I can hear, lo and behold, complaints about fires, and heat, and cold and floods, about masks and speed limits, births and elections, but hey, this is all happening in the fold of your good golly darn ways of “it’s all going to be okay,” and “what hurts makes you stronger” and this is all happening for a reason. It’s also short sighted, hoodoo style whoppee hope. If you put fire by paper it’s going to burn, you let agrifarmers use chemicals they’re going to apply stuff in the land, in to water and it’s going flow into larger bodies of water, and so on and so on…….but remember: “we’re going to be okay, God has a plan, everything happens for a reason” is so absurd. Like mistakes are practically a higher calling. Do what you want, whenever, because somehow, someway everything will work itself out. There’s a “thing that contains magical cure just waiting to kick in” when isn’t important, it just will be OK.

I mean, obviously the blob of floating land called the Earth will still exist if we crunch ourselves out ………….. I mean, everything happening for a reason is as valuable a maxim as nothing happens for a reason, everything, nothing, forever …………… just move along in your lanes, ain’t nothing on any level from personal to social or global to hold any of us accountable.

To be continued ………….
