Catholics believe in Divine Providence. This means they believe everything happens for a reason. In Catholic Theology we speak of God's positive and permissive will. Things that happen in accordance to virtue and goodness are part of God's positive Will. Things that happen in accordance to sin or evil are allowed to exist and persist due to God's permissive Will. God permits evil and its effects to exist in order that mankind can have the ability to choose - if we could not choose evil, we would not be free to love Him. Even so, God's Providence is such that He is able to bring forth good even out of the midst of evil, the often quoted idiom, "God writes straight with crooked lines" is a short meditation upon this. So it is that when evils befall us God offers us the chance to use them to our betterment. As you suggested, many times tragedy, heart break and failure cause us to look inside and reevaluate where we are in life and what we are doing. We could choose to become bitter, or lash out for the difficulties, humiliations and hardship this causes us, or we can admit our weaknesses and failures and adapt and go forward, changing for the better or steeling our resolves. Some people use difficulties as a springboard to change their own lives, and this is the way the Catholic Church advises and teaches its faithful to face such things.
The idea that things happen for a reason suggests that events are connected in some way, leading to outcomes determined by various factors. People may find meaning or purpose in these connections, attributing events to fate, divine intervention, or cause and effect. Ultimately, the reason for events occurring can be complex and subjective, influenced by personal beliefs, experiences, and interpretations.

It is subjective and not constructive to label things as "stupidest." Everyone makes mistakes or has moments of poor judgment. It's important to approach situations with understanding and empathy.
i do believe that most of the things happen for a reason...
You take positives that have came from them and move on. You can't live your life with regret. You can be regretful for a while but dwelling on things doesn't help anyone. Mistakes I generally believe happen for a reason.
