Real life seems to have no plots.

Summary

This quote suggests that real life lacks the structured and planned narratives often found in works of fiction. It implies that unlike in stories, where events are carefully crafted to create a cohesive plot and resolution, real life unfolds in a more unpredictable and organic way. It implies that life is a series of random and sometimes disconnected events that do not always adhere to a clear narrative structure or purpose.
