"Everything happens for a reason"


I've heard that a few times lately and I just really want to know...


what the fuck does that mean?

A girl breaks up with a guy and says to herself, "Everything happens for a reason..." to what? Comfort herself into thinking she didn't make a mistake? You broke up with him -- maybe you made a mistake, maybe you didn't, but just because there's a REASON you broke up with him, doesn't mean that it was the right thing to do. Everything happens for a reason. Many, if not most, things happen for stupid, fucked up, WRONG reasons. Those are called MISTAKES.

"I knew he was supposed to be in my life for a reason."

What the hell is that? You fatalistic pre-destination crazies are going to make my head explode again.
