My educated statement about this is that everything happens for a reason. Even the bad things happen for good reasons. You may not know it for a while, but one day the light will turn on and you'll say "Aha." I say "educated statement" because I've seen it borne out with every good and bad thing that has ever happened to me. A lot of people don't believe that, which is fine. I only believe in the things that have personally happened to me.

But, you still can't treat these things lightly, 'cause I suspect one only gets one chance at the above with every occurrence.
