“All nature is but art, unknown to thee; all chance, direction, which thou canst not see”

Alexander Pope

Simplified Meaning:

This quote is saying that everything in nature has a design or purpose, even if we don’t understand it. When things seem like random events, there is actually a hidden order that we can’t always see. For example, think about how a tree grows: it might look random with branches going every which way, but each part of the tree is growing in just the right way to catch sunlight and rain. Similarly, in our lives, we might face unexpected events or challenges that seem like pure luck or bad luck. However, these moments often lead us to learn important lessons or discover something new about ourselves. By trusting that there's a bigger plan we don't always understand, we can find peace and purpose even in confusing times.
