...chaos is only chaos if you don't look closely enough or if you look too closely.

Chaos is an aspect of free will.

- Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will. - Jawaharlal Nehru
- I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. - Stephen Hawking
- We must believe in free will — we have no choice. - Isaac Bashevis Singer
