>A lot of people believe, "everything happens for a reason," but people with practical experience don't need to believe that because they know everything happens for a reason: it's called "the cause."

Yes. It's all in the formulation. It's not for a reason, but because of a reason.

Using "for" is misleading and puts the horse before the cart: If you went to a café and met the love of your life, it's not "you went to that café for you to meet the love of your life", it's more "you met the love of your life because you went to that café".

I don't exclude the existence of things beyond the limits of my knowledge, though.
