"Rien dans la nature n'est aléatoire Une chose semble aléatoire seulement à cause de l'incomplétude de notre connaissance"
— Baruch Spinoza
Simplified Meaning:
Everything in nature has a reason, even if it seems like it happens by chance. When things appear random to us, it's just because we don't fully understand all the details and causes behind them. Think about flipping a coin. We might think it lands on heads or tails randomly. However, if we knew exactly how hard we flipped it, the angle, the air, and other small details, we could predict how it would land. Similarly, in life, many events may seem like they happen without any reason, but often, it's just that we don't see the whole picture. So, by learning more and paying closer attention, we can start to see the patterns and reasons behind what happens around us.
