Summary

This quote suggests that what we perceive as coincidence is simply our lack of understanding about the underlying factors or connections that bring events together. When we cannot pinpoint the cause of two events occurring simultaneously or in close proximity, we generally attribute it to coincidence. However, this quote implies that with further investigation and knowledge, we might eventually unveil the cause and eliminate the need for the term "coincidence."

You are thrown into it by your personal sense of responsibility, combined with a complex set of external circumstances.
