Providence effortlessly organizes the universe as a whole, Fate concerns the movement of individual beings within time. Those who are closer to God live in greater accord with Providence and can therefore depend on it for help; those who
believe they are on their own are wholly tied to their fate and are—
again paradoxically—in lesser control of their destiny. Those who
appreciate stillness know the mind of Providence; those who apprehend nothing but turmoil and chaos can only see the harshness of Fate.~Boethius
