"Though there be no such thing as Chance in the world; our ignorance of the real cause of any event has the same influence on the understanding and begets a like species of belief or opinion." Hume p. 37
Chance is something that people associate with things that happen that are not expected. When something that has happened before happens again but with a different result people say it happened by chance. Hume says that when this happens philosophers do not look at it as an irregularity of nature but as something that has a secret cause to the effect. I think that things can just happen because of an irregularity of nature. I believe that life is a mystery and somethings just happen and are not meant to be figured out.
