Teleological fallacy. Purposes and causes

People often think of problems in terms of its purpose instead of its cause. It seems to me one way of avoiding facing the real cause of a problem. And is probably also a deluded view of reality. And the oldest one of all is the deity excuse: 'we suffer for something greater than ourselves' (to get to heaven maybe). Unhappiness is a re-action to circumstances we experiance now, or have experianced in the past.
