a) our Souls call upon to experience. Not as a punishment of any sort, but the only way for us to evolve is to experience things that "we are not". Most everyone, not necessarily all, but most, actually grow and gain from the experience. As painful as it may be, not that I would wish any harm on anyone or myself, the realization of who we are becomes much more clearer and stronger afterwards.
b) We will it into reality by the choices we make. We choose to walk alone at night or have a blind date or park in a certain spot or simply being in the "wrong" place at the "wrong time" (using the word "wrong" as a relative term, here, because ultimately there is no wrong). The hardest thing to understand is the child's hurtful experience. Especially when it happens to someone as a child which will have a "scar" on them for the rest of their life and as a child, they don't necessarily know how to handle the pain and aftermath. That's still difficult to explain, but in all truth, as they grow older they have the choice of getting over that pain. Some do, some don't. But the Soul chose to experience the pain for a reason, but that reason cannot usually be seen until down the road, whether it be a few months or many years. There is growth in every experience, yet the "worst" experiences are always the brighter beginnings and new awakenings. They always strengthen the person one way or another, that's how we evolve. We can't evolve if we don't experience what we're not and the human experience wouldn't exist if we had no reason. This is the reason- to evolve and realize who we are through experiences of who we are not.

I think we agree 100% OshnSoul. I am not saying that bad things happen to us, thus taking away our free will. I am saying, how we react to those bad things demonstrates our free will. I can choose to learn and grow from an experience or I can choose to use it as an excuse for my current actions. Either way, I have free will.
It has been my experinece that every trial I've experienced in life has taught me much more than a simple, easy life would offer. I don't look forward to the trials -- but I'm grateful for the growth.
