What do you think?

Does the phrase "everything happens for a reason" suggest that we have no free will, that existence is limited to a series of pre-determined events that are destined to happen no matter what we do?

Good question. I think the definition leans on someone's belief, or not, in either the supernatural or maybe metaphysics. Without those things it can be a literal statement. As in cause and effect. But I think it's more often used as comforting phrase after something unexpected takes place.
