Everything happens for a reason... What does that really mean? It's always said by people who feel that they are connected straight to god. It's the scarcity of self-determination that confuses me. It sounds like no matter what we do, it won't make a difference because god already has everything planned out. I think that sometimes, things just happens. I don't know if things happen for a reason or not. I think when things happen, it's up to us to find the meaning.
