About this Quote

This quote by Charles M. Schulz speaks with the sensation of insignificance that many of us experience in life. It suggests that life is typically random and unforeseeable, and that we are not constantly in control of our own fate. The speaker is questioning why they have been selected for a particular circumstance, and the voice responses that it was merely a matter of possibility. This can be analyzed as a pointer that life is not constantly fair, and that in some cases we need to accept that things take place for no particular reason. It also acts as a suggestion that we should not take things too personally, as we are not constantly the designated target of life's randomness. Eventually, this quote acts as a pointer that life is unpredictable which we should not take things too personally.
