Emotions have causes. All processes do. I think using words like
"purpose","logic", and "reason" might be taken to mean that processes have
meaning or even justice.

Yes. A gene's goal is to make as many copies of itself as possible - to "be
fruitful and multipy". That is the extent of its direction. I still think
I'd agree that everything has a cause, not that everything has a reason.
