Logician and Feif Un,
I can understand where you are coming from. The truth is, however, that we really do not know why many things happen to us. The story told by getzel1 was intended to help a person reframe their attitude and to feel gratitude to Hashem – not to ascribe absolute meaning to the events of a day. Maybe you’re right, maybe getzel1 is right, but the bottom line is that Hashem cares about us, and it’s easier to see that when things are reframed positively. Why should everything that happens to us be a potch from Above and not a yeshua?
