Do things happen for a reason?

[Shazzalovesnovels]

idk. like, why did JFK die? I'm sure the person who killed him had their reasons but why was he even born in the first place? And yeah I get it's because his parents created him, but why HIM.

Because his head was occupying the same space as a piece of metal.

And why did he become president? 

Americans voted for him.

Why did I join this forum thing?

That seems like a question that you shouldn't need to ask of any of us?

Is it going to effect me later in life? Why was I born and not the brother I've never had? 

Could have been any number of reasons, all of them to do with your parents.  

Is there a reason these things happen and if not, is/was there an alternate series of events, that could have occurred but didn't because of one or many actions taken?

Like, say, if jfks parents had a girl instead of him, and that girl didn't grow up to be the president, she probably wouldn't have been shot.

That sort of thing?  I'm sure we can imagine endless variations on a single theme.

I don't know how else to ask my question, it's just an endless circle inside my head.

Some answers are unsatisfying, and we set ourselves into a spiral trying to arrive at a more satisfying answer than the thing we already know to be true.  I didn't tell you anything that you didn't already know, up above.

*sigh*
