Coincidence Or Fate

 Coolness: 93495 | 1) Coincidence 1: So I decide to go for a walk along a bike path in my adidas t-shirt and shoes, and run into some drunk guys wearing adidas track suits
2) Coincidence 2: One of the guys approach me, and talks to me about voting and how its cool Im wearing adidas. I explain to him why voting is stupid and why adidas is awesome, at which point, we get into a debate. At some point, I realize he's a guy from the HR department where I work. We went to a party together and a concert together through mutual friends. 3) Coincidence 3: He remembers me as well, and invites me to have a beer with them. I agree. 30 seconds after I track open the beer, my manager walks by us. My direct manager. His look is one of disgust. Drinking on a friday in public. 4) Coincidence 4: One hour later, we're talking about visibility minorities where I work. The guy I work with mentions a guy who is dating my ex girl friend. 20 minutes later, that same guy runs by. 5) Coincidence 5: We decide to go to the bar together. The guy invites my ex-girlfirend thinking she's still interested in me (without telling me). She shows up with boyfriend (The guy from the canal). Coincidence or fate? |

 Coolness: 282455 | Fate doesn't exist, only the events the lead up to it. It's chance. you choose the people that surround you and they influence what happens in your life, you chose your own path. Simply extract yourself from that situation, like not having gone for the beer in the first place and it wouldn't
have culminated to that. I dont know how you feel about the night but I'd say those are just weird circumstances especially if you're in the area you work. |

If everything happens for a reason, there's a logical reason behind everything that happens. So, if it's all logic there's no room for randomness and free will, cause these would ruin the logical thread. Free will, is there such a thing? I don't know. |

 Coolness: 158735 | gamos... maybe you will find your answers in the concept of synchronicity that Carl Gustav Jung elaborated in many books.. i own a few of his books about this concept as well as other subjects.. i can say these books had a huge impact on me when i discovered them when i was 16yo.
if you like science, quantum mechanics and psychology i think you will find answer there. Update » Holly_Golightly wrote on Sat Apr 23, 2011 @ 1:26pm the title of the book is : Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle..
but you can find more easy read bout the subject... his books are not the easiest to read.. some work are vulgarized kind of like a "a bried history of time"/..etc |

 Coolness: 62950 | Things don't "happen for a reason", everything is causality and observation. Related things happen because they are just that, related, and we tend to notice things that preoccupy us more. There's a shitload of "coincidences" that happen to us every day, we just don't notice them because our minds are busy with other matters. So when one thing happens, we naturally notice related events more. |

Not quite. Rain, happens for a reason but no one makes it rain. Believing that everything happens for a reason is a way of considering a useful outcome to each event. But doesn't mean that it is pre-destined. |

But doesn't mean that it is pre-destined. Well, yeah, in the absolute broadest sense possible, yes obviously things happen 'for a reason'.. But meeting someone at the bus stop, falling in love, marrying them and living happily ever after, that doesn't 'happen for a reason' in the sense that it was 'meant to be', it happens for a reason because this morning, you got up, your car had a flat and you were late for work, so you took the bus instead of waiting for a tow truck and this girl that you later married and spent the rest of your life with forgot her watch at home so she asked you for the time.. The reasons are the direction both of your daily routines took that particular day; simple causality. "It happened for a reason" is used by people to mean "It's fate" or "It's was meant to be" or "It's god's will" or any other way you can think of that people attribute to something that assigns an omnipotent intelligence to the scripting of the events that lead to that outcome, and not the simple causality that it is. |

| Coolness: 62950 | In other words, we make up our path as we go along, guided by instincts, experience, emotions, memories and the world around us. The probabilities of what will happen is more easily argued though (based on experience and so on...) |

| Coolness: 685590 | Well, if you believe in god, then god gave us all free will to chose how to live our lives and to do what we want to do.
But, then, god has a plan and everything goes according to his plan.. so... wait where does free will fit? lol |

But, then, god has a plan and everything goes according to his plan.. so... wait where does free will fit? lol that depends on which religion.. all religions do not have the same doctrines.. for example, Calvinist believe in a doctrine of predestination.. sort of a prophetic determinism.. but catholic roman doctrine are the one who mention god's plan but with freewill from the human.. very different.. reformed Jews do not really have a doctrine of predestination... the orthodox church do not promote the same predestination doctrines than the Augustine one.. Arminianism believe that individual have choice of good or wrong... Lutheran does not believe in predestination at all.. everybody's saved!yay! depending on the denomination Islam have conflicting views on predestination.. ... etc etc...each religion have its own belief system.. |
