what causes u to leave? do u leave from boredom or do u fled to excitement? becoz leaving from boredom doesn't mean that the place in future will be exciting and fleeing to excitement doesn't necessary mean that there is anything wrong with the place at present. or maybe, we leave becoz there is a chance.

will u feel uneasy if one day, u discover that an event in ur life happened not becoz it HAD TO, but becoz of a few improbable fortuities?

for example, if u aren't with the person u are with now, u might have fallen in love with someone.

so when pple say that god has a plan for each of us, did the fine line read, "the plan really consists of random chances stringed together such that it seemed fated becoz human with their fine imagination like to read too much into it".

kinda remind me of the argument:
did 6 become a perfect number becoz he made the world (without adam that is) in 6 days and since he is the supreme goodness then 6 became a perfect number? then it is all arbitury. why 6? why not 3 or 5? that will imply that we are really, a product of randomness as well.

but our feeble minds cannot accept that our self-constructed notion of christian god/chinese heaven/ do things at random.

so did he made the world in 6 days becoz 6 was good to start off with? in which case, he is not the supreme goodness of all things. there is s'thing more fundamental that is Good.

"Co-incidence" mean that two events unexpectedly happen at the same time, they meet:

Tomas appears in the hotel restaurant at the same time the radio is playing Beethoven. We do not notice the great majority of such coincidences. If the seat Tomas occupied had been occupied instead by the local butcher, Tereza never would have noticed that the radio was playing Beethoven. But her nascent love inflamed her sense of beaity, and she would never forget that music. Whenever she heard it, she would be touched. Everything going on around her at that moment would be haloed by the music and take on its beauty.

becoz as i've said b4 (or rather, buddhism said), we are a collection of experiences. You are not the person who began reading this page. You will not be the person who flips to the next one.

subconsciously, how we look at things is very much like what our ancestors did: reading the cracks on the turtle shells.
