    This is a coping mechanism. They have to believe there’s a reason for their suffering, so they invent a plan that’s happening behind the scenes that they’ll only understand at some vague time in the future.

    For the first hundred thousand or so years of human existence, this was fine, and helped keep us from losing our shit while developing our civilization.

    Now? It’s highly detrimental to our ability to cope with reality.

    Therapy and good friends are where it’s at.

    There is no greater plan. Sometimes shit just happens and you’ve got to deal with it to move on. That’s not something to be afraid of. That’s just life.
