Is it language with no meaning?

When I was younger I used to say everything happens for a reason and now that I am older I absolutely hate that phrase so much it is such a false narrative, absolute bullshit narrative tbh. Why should pepple accept bad things when someone says oh everything happens for a reason naw get out of here with that!!.

Words

Words can suffocate

Words can set free

They can deepen love

And grief

They can heal

As well as cause a disease

Wounds by sword could be filled

But those caused by tongues never heal

I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. If you need the medication again, go ahead and take it—I will love you through that, as well. If you don’t need the medication, I will love you, too. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.

Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
