About the causes of happenings

I am always looking for consolations and philosophies to help me to deal with the everyday ups and downs of life, let alone the major problems and tragedies that we all seem to encounter at various times in our lives.

One great consolation, for me, is to believe, as I do, that everything that happens has a cause or has been caused by what has gone before, a sequence of events and circumstances which we may never fully discern but which are, nevertheless, there!

We are not the victims of blind fate. There is no such thing as luck, good or bad, as I have written about previously.

Why is this a consolation?? I don't know - but it is!!
