Regardless of the quantity of the duration, because a kairotic event cannot happen at just “any time,” it is also distinct from an abstract articulation of chance. A kairiotic event does not happen randomly; in some qualititative sense, it is a "time of crisis [and] . . . opportunity," which is solicited or even demanded by the situation itself (Smith 10).
