Events happen in a passive manner, cannot be predicted, and are the seeds which are planted to be reaped as adventures. The evolution of an adventure from an event can be described as follows: the event occurs, is stored in the memories of the person, someone or something triggers a recall of the event, the event is recalled, and then is dubbed an adventure. The person going through this process is also responsible for making it an adventure by deciding to recall or retell it, but the person is not responsible for the event itself. All in all, adventures can happen if the individual chooses to make them happen.
Perfect moments, moments when time can stand still, or the world can move by the persons oblivious to it. Perfect moments are also discussed by Sartre in Nausea. To illustrate, the meeting of Antoine and Anny at the theatre in Djibouti. She takes his hand in hers and remains speechless, so as not to ruin her perfect moment. They then part ways without a word. The "privilaged situation" in this case is their past relationship, and this is the setup for this perfect moment. Anny is in total control of this perfect moment from beginning to end, this stems from her career, acting. In acting, control over all situations in the play is given to the actor by the script and by their freedom to interpret as they see fit under the director. In a way, one is responsible for scripting their perfect moment, or else it will not occur the way they want it to. They are so delicate, that if the other party does not concede to having a perfect moment, they can be easily ruined, like a person forgetting a line in a climactic scene. Perfect moments violate Sartre's slogan about "Existence preceeding essence." The need for them arises before they become a reality. So much preparation goes into them, that they are almost like a gift between the people who engage in them. Though one of the parties may not consider it to be a perfect moment, thus not reciprocating the interpretation of it as a perfect moment.
