I met a difficult part when a character is talking about philosophical topic (like the purpose of his life, what you want to do /what you must do in life). Appreciates some native or expert in Japanese could explain what he meant ^^
Context: Main character has been isekai'd to another world during Sengoku era of Japan. Here he joined a clan and got promoted into a squad leader/ military officer. He's been wondering about the reason as to why he got transported to this world ,and about the purpose of his life in this new world.
He's talking with his subordinate (a girl in his unit)
While もの is a pronoun often for concrete things, こと is often for abstract things. However, they are interchangeable there. こともある can be interpreted as "it's possible~/it might happen ~" in 出てくることもある, though.
