The human race has a long way to go for enlightenment, especially the people Im used to dealing with. The government doesn't want the people to become enlightened, they want us stupid and fat so they can go on controlling everything. I'm not sure who this Chris prentiss is, but if he thinks that everything that happens to you is the best thing that could happen, he's dead wrong. What kind of privileged life must you live in order to believe that load of bull? Go tell that to the kids that get abducted from their homes. The women who are beaten and raped so the rapist can feel good. All the victims of every senseless act of violence that has ever occurred. That right there is enough to disprove that ridiculous theory.

The things that happen to a person are a combination of chance, and concentrated power of will. Don't come at me with this "everything happens for a reason" bullshit either. In order for everything to happen for a reason, your thoughts would have to not be your own. Thoughts are the predecessor to action, so in order for something to happen physically, it must happen mentally first. Free will would be a mere illusion if the world worked that way. Wake up sheeple...
