What does 'everything happens for a reason' mean?

When people say everything happens for a reason, do they mean the obvious such as consequences for actions or is there a deeper meaning to the saying?

  • Answer:

    As I understand, it means a higher power (i.e.: God) has the final say and/or outcome of all situations as a whole. Yes your situation may be a small deal in the whole scheme of things, it is still a part of a larger plan and may influence, even to a small degree the big picture.
