Never will you know

I turned the light off in the living room last night before I went to bed at the end of a whirlwind day and noticed a couple of extra clicks.

The extra clicks resulted from the insignificant detail of the light requiring more clicks to turn it off that occurs ever-s0-often.

What is it?

Chance.

The tiny gears and tumblers turning and just happening to skip over the right slot to turn the light off all playing out randomly. So randomly operating in such a contrived device.

Don't we want it?

Don't we want everything to be in our control. Don't we want it all manufactured for a specific reason?

But we don't do we?

We never do.

Instead, life sparks and fires, and cools and goes out. And sometimes it takes 100 clicks to turn the light out and sometimes it comes on all by itself.

Luck?

Chance?

Design by a master?

Click it off tonight and listen for the extra click to see how many it took, but for what?
