Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, life seems random and unpredictable, with things happening without any clear reason. This idea asks us to embrace the randomness and not stress about trying to find a deeper meaning where there might not be one. It's like when a sudden rainstorm ruins your outdoor plans – instead of getting upset, you could just accept that weather is unpredictable and enjoy the moment indoors. Understanding that not everything has a specific reason can make life less stressful. It reminds us that we can't control everything and should focus on what we can control. By accepting life's unpredictable nature, we can find peace and stop worrying about things we can't change.
