Is it true that nothing in life just happens?

The human mind can accept anything but catastrophic disorder. No one can lead a completely disorganized life full of chaos. Yes, a teenager's messy room can look quite chaotic, but the owner made the decision about its appearance. He just chose chaos, and while there is a choice, one cannot speak of complete disorganization. But is there any disorganization at all? Is what is happening by chance, or is there a special, higher meaning in everything? Let's try to understand this difficult issue.

Accidents in life

In fact, life is sometimes filled with accidents, a separate scientific field is even devoted to this. And atoms collide by chance, and random modifications of animals move forward the evolution described by Darwin. A lot can happen in nature, it is filled with accidents, which is not easy for a person to realize simply because of the orderliness of his thoughts, although people are sometimes visited by sudden impulses, whims, and bouts of emotion. Even a scientist who is busy studying random atoms does not think that he is doing something indefinite. It has a specific goal, a specific meaning, and it moves in its own direction, although from the outside the process may seem quite chaotic and disorganized.

The meaningfulness of accidents

So how do you break out of this vicious circle of orderly actions and start noticing meaningful coincidences in chances? Just think about the expression itself, because meaningful has a purpose, and coincidence is accidental by definition. The truth is, a sense of trust can help you find meaning in the chaotic flow of events around you. Believe that somewhere from above in everything that happens there is also a meaning, purpose and direction - somewhere in the mystical sphere, which controls the events of life. This is the meaning of the expression "nothing happens just like that": the accidents of life are predetermined in advance. However, it is rather difficult to prove this. This idea exists as a common belief, as a postulate of faith or as a dream, and for some - like all this at once, in various combinations.

What is the real situation?

Perhaps this idea is difficult to accept because it is not formulated quite correctly. It would be much more correct to say: "Everything happens with a specific purpose, despite the fact that it seems different." Life is not limited to these events; it can combine pronounced orderliness with chaotic accidents. Back to the teenager again. There is order in his daily trips to school, but in his bedroom there is chaos. Pay attention to the keyword “seems”. Everything may seem random, although in reality it is completely not so. Everything may have a reason, it is just that you do not know it. Einstein might seem like an ordinary clerk in the Swiss patent office, but in fact he was thinking about the most important questions of physics. Creative people seem to be just absent-minded, and at this moment they come up with a masterpiece! When a person cannot read, the letters seem to be scattered around the page randomly, when in fact they are located in a very specific way. Once you realize that it’s impossible to assess the situation at first glance, new opportunities will open up for you.

Key Features

Accident itself can be a misnomer. The great Dutch philosopher Spinoza believed that nothing is accidental in nature. Anything that seems random to us looks so only because we do not have enough knowledge to understand the situation. Our perception is the main difficulty on the path to understanding. We look at a chain of unpredictable events and believe that they are random, because we cannot look at what is happening from the other side. If you look at the artist's painting through a magnifying glass, it seems that his brush uses completely different colors, but if you look differently and see the whole picture as a whole, the plot that he is painting becomes clear.

How to create your own story?

First of all, understand that it is illogical to expect from life events to comply with clear rules, cause and effect here does not work in the usual way. What is happening can be described by mechanical laws, for example, if you kick a ball, it will fly into the air, and if you hit a person, then the reaction will also be sure, but not so predictable for you personally. The point is that the processing of events in the brain does not imply a direct line of analysis of events; it is not a way to connect event A with cause B.
There is a whole cloud of reasons and thoughts in the head, it is not straightforward, it is supplemented by memories, upbringing, habits, mind, emotions, relationships, genetic code and many hidden biological factors. And in this cloud, your brain is looking for a specific solution - a process much more complicated than a clear scientific explanation. So how do you control your life story yourself? Firstly, we already come up with our stories when we cannot explain what is happening, because living in complete uncertainty is uncomfortable. You can control the way in which you explain to yourself everything that is going on around you. This will be your essence and your story.

Unusual conclusion

After all the previous reflections, you can come to an intriguing conclusion. The history of each person is made up of a combination of accidents and chaos, so maybe reality is always ordered and comprehended, and we determine the volume of ordered events ourselves? Each person decides for himself how to perceive the flow of life events. Everything happens for a reason, if you believe in it, if you find a hidden meaning in it. You cleanse your existence of chaos if you just believe in order. However, trust is not enough. This is just one necessary part. In addition to trust, you will need the ability to build partnerships between yourself and higher powers. This is not about something mystical, but about aspects of your own consciousness. About invisible forces, which include creativity, intuition, intentions. Find a balance between yourself and nature, draw on age-old wisdom - and you will notice that there is really order in everything that surrounds you. Do not postpone the search for meaning for a long time - learn to notice the special order in the things around you right now.
