Everything that happens, Happens for a reason.

Everything that happens, Happens for a reason.......... is that right?
So often I hear this quote...especially as of late.

especially when things have seemed to have gone wrong, and I'm try to make sense of  whatever it is that has happened in my life at the time. At such times, it is usually comforting to tell oneself that there may be some higher purpose in all that is happening, and that, in the end, everything will turn out well - However...as of late this saying that should give some sense of relief...gives little comfort if any at all.

Yes...things happen for a reason...most of the time. However I'm not a real strong believer in "fate"...yes reason can play a part. Usually whatever is happening is because of an action of oneself or that of another person involved in the thing that's going on... 

It is not fate that a child is abused by a relative and then turns into an abuser. 
It is not fate that a woman is raped and then hate's men for the rest of her life... fate plays no part in this. It happened because someone used their free agency to cause that harm, someone took action. 

Things happen because of choices that one makes... However unfortunately this doesn't explain everything that happens in ones life...it's much more complex than that I think. 
For example, a medical problem...why do they happen? Why is it that some can't bear children? Is there truly a reason for it?...Are we not on this earth to "multiply and replenish". To procreate? Isn't that part of the "plan"? So if God had reason in refusing a woman to bear her own  child what is the purpose of his plan?... Is there really reason in it? Or does it just happen because it happens?
