Unless of course there is no such thing as chance;...in which case, we should either - optimistically- get up and cheer, because if everything is planned in advance, then we all have a meaning, and are spared the terror of knowing oursleves to be random, without a why; or else, of course, we might - as pessimists - give up right here and now, understanding the futility of thought decision action , since nothing we think makes any difference anyway; things will be as they will. Where, then, is optimism? In fate or in chaos?
