Speculations

To me, saying, “If something happens, it is supposed to happen,” is speculative philosophy. Personally, I try to accept what happens without making any unnecessary leaps of faith.

It reminds me of a telephone discussion I recently had with my sister. We were talking about our parents (one of whom is deceased). In reference to some of their emotionally abusive behavior:

Sister: They did the best they could.

Me: How do you know that?

Sister: Because, if they did not do the best they could, it would be like saying they were evil.

Me: How do you know that? Do you always do the best you can? I know I don’t.

My sister seemed to get my point. I don’t usually see a need for excessive quess work.
