Yukio Mishima. Spring snow (№ 171757)

... As experience shows, the human will sometimes fail. People usually goes the wrong way on what was intended to go. In this case, says the European? He thinks: "in my will, defeat is an accident." Randomness is an exception to the law of causality, the only unreasonableness, which can recognize free will.
That's why the European philosophy of the will is untenable without recognition of the factor "luck". Coincidence is the last refuge of the will, victory or defeat in the game... without it, the Europeans would be unable to explain the collapse and defeat of the will. I think this randomness, this game captures the essence of their God. If the last refuge of the philosophy of the will, the deification of randomness, then their God is then created to uplift the human spirit.
