Does Everything Happen For a Reason?

I don't really know if things happen for a reason anymore. Why do so many young people have to die? Is there really a point in that? I mean honestly, how does that make the world a better place? I don't think it does. These people had so many things going for them and so many people cared for them. Think about all of their friends and family that will have to grieve over it. They will never get to grow up or have a future. Their lives were cut short and it just doesn't seem fair. I don't think there is really a reason that it happened. I think it just does. We have no control and it happens randomly. There isn't a point to it.

And what about signs? Do things happen to grab your attention or are they merely coincidences. I have a hard time believing that everything can just be coincidental. I think I got a sign yesterday, but then again it could just be a coincidence. I honestly don't know. Life can be so confusing...
