F... "Everything Happens for a Reason"

[Schneed10]

So I'm reading this TJ Duckett article on Redskins.com, and he says "I thought I'd be able to have more of an opportunity here, but it didn't work out that way. Everything happens for a reason, and I'll find out what that is."

I am SOOO tired of hearing the phrase "everything happens for a reason." Yeah TJ, there was a reason. Betts was better than you, that's why you didn't get an opportunity. This did not happen to you because fate is somehow directing you to a new team with a new opportunity.

I HATE the concept of fate, or that anything is predetermined, or that people don't control their own lives. One of the worst things in the world is to hear someone crying about how their boyfriend broke up with them, "but everything happens for a reason."

YEAH, IT DOES. The reason is he didn't want to date your ass anymore, not because God or fate has some master plan for you.

UGH. F that!
