Has anyone ever experienced a series of coincidences that dramatically change your life, and when you look back you wonder how everything fell into place at exactly the right time? It makes me wonder how interconnected everything in the world is, how every action of one person or event has so many implications on other people and how their lives change.

I just find it cool that there is a reason or cause for everything that happens. And the fact that a series of things happen at exactly the right time shows that everyone has a destiny.

Now the Matrix question of the day is does your Destiny rule you or do you rule your destiny?

I know a lot of people don't believe in total destiny, but most people do agree that at least genetically we are predesposed to a certain way of life. And I think the experiencer still reserve a lot of control, for example, courage seems to be one of the human qualities that we are forced to build up and express, but the circumstances that we are put in, I think it is possible that our experiences are at some level planned out and the eventuality guaranteed.

Coincidence. I don't believe in fate or destiny or anything like that, but I use those terms to refer to coincidences that occur conveniently.

For me, college is the same day after day after day. Unless I start going to parties/conversing more/etc then it's not going to change :D
