Thing's DON'T happen for a reason !

"Everything happens for a reason." This isn't necessarily a statement of duality.

All of Sikhism is derived from logic + reason. When something happens beyond logic and our ability to reason, we just say, "everything happens for a reason", meaning, it happened for reasons beyond our ability to reason (but we are fine with that, as it is just hukam).

That doesn't necessarily mean the person is stuck in duality; that all depends on how the person copes with it. If he just blows it off and goes on with life, then that's fine. If he gets mad or depressed, then he's definitely stuck in duality.

As Sikhs, we should always be trying to reason what's happening around us; that's the only way to know when another is acting completely unreasonably.

If we stop doing that and just blindly accept adharmic actions from another, then how do we know when to retaliate?

I actually agree with Nanak Naam on this one. You can only really retaliate if you have an opportunity to retaliate, (example is right in front of you), if you don't have that opportunity it's not wise to be going in looking for a fight, but when it comes to you, you must defend what is right. But the whole everything has a reason idea will be our downfall, this is an idea not included in any major religion, but rather people wanting to believe there is a reason.
