"Everything happens..."

You often hear "Everything happens for a reason," but this is not a grownup thought.  What we label as good or bad happens because of the laws of nature.  Natural disasters, accidents from human error and mechanical malfunction, birth defects, and criminal and immoral behavior, all have a cause but are not part of a master plan.   Bad things do not happen in order for us to learn lessons, although lessons may be learned.  We have to learn to live with the unexplained and the unknown.  Everything that happens has a cause but not a reason.
