I think about this question all the time. On one hand, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, though it is possible that that reason is chaos. While I recognize that this is inherently contradictory, I think that order and chaos are closely intertwined. For example, if I go to the grocery story and drop a carton of milk, which then explodes, it is an action of chaos. But say I look up after dropping that carton into the eyes of my soulmate, who's bending over to help me - that's more on trend with order. So you could say, in this case, that the chaos that wasn't meant to be was somehow predestined so that I would bump into my soulmate. To me, they have a paradoxical relationship.
