Please write short essays in response to the following prompts.
Study the article “Let go of the Myth.” The author obviously has a problem with the idea that everything happens for a reason. First, what does he mean by that? In other words, when he hears someone say that everything happens for a reason what does that mean to him? Secondly, what precisely does he seem to find problematic about that? Do you agree? (150-300 words)
Continuing with the “Let go of the Myth” article, if the author does not believe that everything happens for a reason then what does he believe? For example, why does he say that we should look for meaning in events and how is that different than looking for the reason why something happened? Is there an example in the article that helps illustrate the point he is making? Do you agree? (250-400 words)
After reading the 2020 Foundation Day Reflections, identify at least three ideas or points that might suggest to us what providence means to the speakers.
