> "Everything happens for a reason."

I don't know why people believe this; like there is some grand universal plan. This way of thinking also unnecessarily brings emotion into the events of life which does nothing other than complicate the situation since one may question the universal 'reason' why some event like a business closure happens. Things happen because they happen and it's best to view these events logically so that one can learn from them rather than try to figure-out some metaphysical 'reason'.

As I always like to say... "No, everything doesn't happen for a reason, but, you can always find a reason for everything that happens".
