I need help figuring out the rest of this quote?

Question

i just saw it not too long ago and i can only remember some of it

"we go through our whole lives believing that everything happens for a reason when in reality..." then i can't remember the rest...i think the rest says something about making an excuse about everything happening for a reason.

anyone know the rest of this quote?

Answer 1

Is it this?

"We spend our whole lives telling ourselves that everything happens for a reason, when in reality, we just give reasons for everything that happens."
