Is there such a thing as pure coincidence?







Recently I heard somebody say there is no such thing as coincidence. I beg to differ.


Yesterday while driving to work I realised I had probably driven 3000 miles since my last oil


change so I took a quick glance at the little sticker JIFFY LUBE puts on the windsheild indicat-


ing how many miles until I needed to bring the car back in. It read 51,392. I then looked at


the odometer and believe you me it truely said 51,392. Is that bizarre or what? I'd say


that's a coincidence. Sorry if I bored anyone with this but I just had to share that little


experience. biggrin
The most difficult thing that you can do is to watch the person you love love someone else.

But I now know that karma can be both bad and good.

Deepak Chopra wrote a book about this very thing - The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnassing the Power of Coincidence

http://www.amazon.com/exe...00-8717438

He bascially says that these little coincidences that we experience every day are clues and are drawing your attention to something that we need to know. He calls it "synchrodestiny" - it's a pretty interesting theory and he illustrates it with various examples. He says that it could be several coincidences before you know, but that they add up and beign to make sense.
Who knows?

Everything happens for a reason.
The good and the bad happen for a reason.
I never regret anything or anyone.

No.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Its called synchronicity. You can do some research on it. There are other weird cases.
