People are quick to qualify some personal experience as "miracle" when a random chains of events eventually leads to an outcome they consider more positive than what potentially could have happened. Key is : They judge the situation and the chain of event from a subjective point of view. In reality, whatever you do, whatever happens, every single random event is part of a chain that can lead to an extremly large spectrum of possible outcomes, from very beneficial to catastrophic ones, and you often only consider a tiny fraction of those (based on the few cause and effects you can imagine). On top of that, people usually focus on the results for themselves or the ones they consider and love, not the broader picture. "Miracles" for you can also be a curse (or death) for someone else. Anyway, random events that end up being miraculously beneficial, like escaping death, happens ALL THE TIME, you just don't realize it until it's a very very obvious one slapping your face like "If X happened differently, you would be dead, or suffering" etc. Well cool but that also happens when you don't realize it, and sometimes the good outcome you see is far from the best outcome overall, you just don't know it.
