See it depends...
With regard to atrocitries such a genocide and innocent people who suffer from severe illnesses I would never endorse the "for a reason" philosophy.
However, I do agree with the Buddhists that human life is marked by suffering. And as an optimistic I like to remind others that life is bittersweet; and along with the pain you will experience great joy. Or at least great wonder. What a world God has blessed us with! And we humans have much greater power to move, to grow, to evolve than any other species. (Now we do not always harness that power for good, but that is another topic.)
Let me ask you a question,
When something unfavorable occurs or a relationship ends do you ask yourself,
"What can I gain or learn from this loss (or mistake or miscommunication, etc.)?"
I believe that important lessons come disguised as problems and are often wrapped in pain.
What do you believe?
