reasoning

I have heard the saying "everything happens for a reason" a million times. People say it so effortlessly....with a shrug and a half smile...and the infected person with the questionable incident begins to feel okay with things, because there's a REASON. An unknown reason...with a reason behind that reason....which is altered by another reason. And so on. Until the only thing left to know, is if it's black or white.Yin or Yang...even life or death.
And we bow to the power of the reason and accept its meaning....blindly.

A family friend lost her daughter in a car accident....Dan got a promotion. Another friend just had a double masectomy....I got a $120 tip. Answers are pointless when you're living it regardless.

The bearers of the perplexing quote assure....But deep down they know...black cannot exist without white.
And grey will still have reasons.
