"Everything happens for a reason"
I'm sure you've all heard this phrase at one time or another in your life.
Quite honestly, I hate it.
Today, I find out that my 8 year old cousin, Hunter, has been diagnosed with Encephalitis and has been in the hospital since Saturday and is getting worse by the day. Yet everything happens for a reason. I'd like to know what reason there is for a healthy, lively, intelligent and amazing kid with so much potential for the future to be stricken with something so awful that it may lead to his death at the age of 8. Honestly, I am just beyond pissed at this point because the first thing someone said to be today when I was asked "What's wrong?" is that everything happens for a reason.
I need an explanation.
I can't begin to fathom that whatever higher being that exists, whether it be God or what have you, honestly feels that there is a reason to cause an 8 year old child so much hurt and pain. If he does live, he loses his sight and his speech will forever be slurred because at this point, he can't see and he speaks like he has a mouth full of Oatmeal. He's lost weight, and he's already tiny. And because it's Viral rather than Bacterial, he can't be treated with any Antibiotics because it wouldn't cure anything. So all we can do is pray. But if we're praying to God, what's the point? Everything happens for a reason but he made this happen.
It's fucking sickening and it's shit like this that makes me question "His" existance. If God is so great, then why does this happen to a fucking 8 year old child, but sick pieces of shit still roam the streets raping, murdering and doing all sorts of other awful things to people. Ugh.
