an act the absurdity of which is revealed only when others demand in vain a reason.

Everything happens for a reason:

1) To help you feel at home in the world
2) to help you totally accept yourself
3) to show you that you can let go of fear
4) to bring you to a place where you can feel forgiveness
5) to help you uncover your true hidden talent
6) to give you what you need to find true love
7) to help you become stronger
8) to help you discover the play in life
9) to show you how to live with a sense of mission
10)to help you become a truly good person
