Do you believe that "everything happens for a reason"?

sometimes I feel everything happens for no reason

That's just some shit you tell someone who just had something bad happen to them. No reason, no hope, no nothing.

It's true in the sense that everything that happens has an effect that couldn't have happened without it, although that is conflating the cause of an event with the legitimation of it.

I think it's a helpful way to imagine unfair and irrational happenings if you want to come to terms with them.

"I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time." - Forrest Gump.

It depends on what type of definition you attach to "reason." Every action has a reaction. If you want to attach a deeper meaning to it, enjoy. Things will still happen regardless of the meaning. I often believe there is reason for everything because it brings me comfort. I believe that I am here to learn and all these things that happen are meant to teach me something about the world and/or myself.

P.S. thanks for asking

Massenergy and quarkenergy in the Universe behaves in a completely random fashion, however, life forms sometimes create order from this randomness.

Also, some non-living quarkenergy and massenergy bodies in the Universe, sometimes exhibit life-like behaviours (which is why life forms evolved in the first place).

Because of the above, 'everything' DOES NOT happen for a reason.

Also, what about space? Is there any reason to space in any way?

I believe that everything that happens happens.

I've always thought that saying was referring to cause&effect..

No it's all just chaos.

Shit happens bro. Yes everything happens for a reason.

Nope,not at all. Some shits are really unnecessary and purposeless, this I am sure.

Not at all.

Yes, everything happens for a reason. The problem is that the reason isn't always reasonable.

Some things happen for a reason, but not everything.

The reason is up to you.

Depends on what u believe. But I think there's some kind of karma. Or cosmic law.

Shit happens. Good and bad. No rhyme or reason to it all.

Everything that happens is a balaNcing act of energies, of thoughts and actions, that is self created, and result in appropriate consequences. Thoughts create reality and those thoughts when they are done being thought they don't just dissappear. They continue to manifest in reality or in the mental space of the fourth dimension.
