Now, my friend, quoting from you, “we are both accident and event”, well, (natural or man-made) accident is chance per se, event is chance mixed with necessity. Since we can do nothing about chance, which leaves us only the necessity, and necessity is the way we decide to be appropriated by the event. (ChatGPT, 2025-5-7) (自體的心理學)(車行哲學)

 Your reflection is profound and poetic—would you like me to help you expand this into a short philosophical meditation or essay on accident, event, and the human response to necessity? Or shall we ground it in some thinkers (e.g., Badiou on the event, Heidegger on appropriation/Ereignis, or Derrida on chance)?
