Chance v. Fate

It depends on what day it is. On a day such as today, when this morning I needed to discover the entirety of the solution to a problem of such complexity it befuddled my professors in Grad School (not understanding it, in their case, but explaining it), Fate it is. The good thing is that when one meets Fate with a clean heart one may endure her jokes. She is a thing of beauty on a day like this. "Quite simply," she said, mocking the Queen, "parse the sentence into its constituent... components... then determine its composition." A stroke of genius, Fate. On a day like this.
