Everything happens for a reason or not?

We hear this expression often. "Everything happens for a reason?" my answer is maybe, whatever the truth of this matter is, the problem is we can only make that statement with hindsight. You never hear that all was prodicted before the action took place. Sure somethings are prodictable, like if we declare war, we know mayham and death will result, but do we know how many advances in science and medicine will be made? No of course not. This is just a small example. But then we must explore all of our actions, even the small ones, like brushing our hair, or picking the cloths to wear, what would happen if I did this now or one hour from now. You can see that this would soon drive you crazy and nothing would get done. Well, do you believe, maybe? Sometimes? Only big important things? What about timing? Lot's of thoughts here?
