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?

I don’t really believe that phrase. I think things happen, and we react to them, or we make things happen in our lives through focus, persistence, passion, and hard work (and sometimes stupidity 😄).

I think that phrase was made up to help hearts move on, but I don’t believe in destiny, predetermined conditions over which we have no control.
