Why Does Everything Happens For a Reason?
Everything happens for a reason right? Or could this statement just be relative to perspective? Do things really happen for a reason or is it just the natural occurence of events that give the illusion of reasoning behind events? All events in reality (whether concious or sub-concious; physical or meta-physical) depend on other events to occur before they themselves occur. In order for me to write this blog, i have to come up with the idea. In order for me to come up with the idea, i have to be born. In order for me to be born, humans need to exist. In order for humans to exist, so on, and so on.....
Now if you really analyze that deffinition of the stament, "everything happens for a reason", it turns out to be the reverse perspective of the natural occurence of events. 
However, the illusion is in the individual's perspective of the deffinition. Most people use it as a tool to give them hope that something good will come out of a bad situation. Well, even though there is a reason behind some of event, who's to say the reason is good? I know, it sucks but it's true, right?
Anyway, this philosophy of natural event occurence brings up another interesting idea. If all events are dependent on others, then everything that happens in the universe is dependent upon everything else. Meaning we (meaning humans, animals, plants, stars, galaxies, and everything else) are all connected in some sort of indirect way. Everything you do, everything i do, and everything someone else does, has some sort of influence on the natural occurence of events in the universe.. I know, its corny but it's true, right?
Now last but not least, this brings up a really crazy idea. If the procedure of the natural occurence of events is consistent, then we should be able to predict the future. Quantum Physicists can predict the paths particles take when colliding in an atom smasher. If we can elaborate (is that the right word?) on that technology and use it on a larger scale, scientists can predict the future. Of course, it would take way too much time and information to predict an event due to the billions and gazillions of different possible outcomes......

Hmmm.... I believe the word you look for is 'expound', but that may carry to much force in this application.
A reason for everything. That is really just a metaphysical way of trying to find purpose for being or to explain the unexplainable. Popeye said "I yams whort I yams and that's all whort I yams" Simple and eloquent. You could quote Shakesphere... "To be or not to be, that is the question" or "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools. The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing" or even further "Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum" (Latin: "I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am"). May even a spiritual view of " I thought therefore I was". Even go off to the deep end and say "Do mirrors reflect mirrors? Or just the space between?" What is the reason of reason other than to supply reason? And is there an reason for it? Untimely ask the question of "Why does everything happen to me?" A stretch at a pity party. Why question such dribble... just accept was is. What if the big bang didn't accrue from a singular mass and the universe is the pucker point for some huge black hole in another time and universe and the black holes here eat each other back to a singularity? Then are we truly are one again! Are there dark suckers rather than light bulbs? Does it matter if no one minds? It must, that's the reason for reason to happen. I think... or thought, maybe it's all a delusion. Slippery slopes.
Actually quantum physics can not predict particle paths. It's about probabilities. That's where your argumentation breaks down, unfortunately. Future isn't predictable on quantum scales. If there are two possible outcomes, one can predict the probabilities, but even afterwards there is no reason why this, not the other, occured. Probabilities help where you have many events (like in colliders with millions of collisions), but the world as a whole and its future is only one 'event'.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
nice post. I would love to follow you on twitter.
