It conveys the idea that individuals' experiences and outcomes in life are not necessarily determined by deserving or undeserving factors, but rather by random fortunes or misfortunes. In a sense, it challenges the notion that justice is a predictable or equitable force, emphasizing the unpredictability and sometimes arbitrary nature of life's outcomes.

The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behooves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity.
