     Full Idea: The absolute necessity of all events contains nothing of a compulsion.
     From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1885-86 [1886], 1[114])
     A reaction: I like to look for necessity-makers behind necessities. So if the event is not necessary because of its cause, where does it come from? Is it that the whole sequence is a unified necessity?
