Do you believe in coincidences?

[HawkPerception]

Yes

No

[ApplePie409]

Yes, of course. But you also have to consider the Butterfly Effect. That shit will bake your noodle. Had your alarm not gone off, you might still be alive. But it went off, so now you're killed by a bus.

No. I believe that everything happens for a reason, even when we don't understand or when we don't know what's the reason.

[menina]

Thank you for the MHO.

[HawkPerception]

😊👍🏼

[slatyb]

Of course. But mostly they have no meaning. Also many things people believe to be unlikely are actually fairly common.

[strateguy632]

sometimes a surprise is just a coincidence but sometimes it is fate.

[AngryCarl]

Coincidences are a logical extension of the Laws of Physics. If there were no coincidences we would know that there is some Godlike power at work preventing coincidences occurring. A lot of the things we casually assume are coincidences are actually very common events. Such as randomly bumping into the person who becomes your life partner.

Nothing is coincidence.
It all follows 'Murphy's Law'

[ApplePie409]

Mur·phy's Law
/ˈmərfēz ˈlô, ˈmərfēz ˈlä/
noun
a supposed law of nature, expressed in various humorous popular sayings, to the effect that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

How do you not understand Murphy's Law?

[andreasderjuengere]

Did you?

[sheenagwapa]

yeah... there are people and occurrences in our life that don't really have impact on us. but if you ask me if we have a Creator, absolutely we have!

[NathanDavis]

well, yeah... I notice them and see them, live them often

[WhitneySnow]

Sometimes but not everything is a coincidence

[laly520]

yes

it happens

[wiltingrosepetal]

I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't, but yeah

[HawkPerception]

You've never heard someone say "There's no such thing as a coincidence." ?

[wiltingrosepetal]

Not gonna lie, I always thought that was kinda silly. Sure, you can use that phrase in specific situations. For example:

Two years ago, on the day my best friend told me she was moving to another state, I walked into my first period class. And sitting in the seat beside mine was a new student, who started that day. She became my best friend.

It's totally fair to call that god's plan, or chock that up to a cosmic influence. What are the chances that she would be placed in the seat right beside mine, on the day we both needed a friend the most? However, some coincidences are just that. My brother and I ordered the same thing from the same KFC at 11am, two months apart. Why? Because it's the KFC beside our house and 11am is our lunch time. There's a reason for almost everything.

Food for thought 🕺

[HawkPerception]

Just gonna say I agree. Just trying to get insight into the minds of those that say there are no coincidences lol

[Dargil]

In coincidences, yes. In Karma, no.

[exitseven]

no, there are no coincidences.

[RHK36]

Nope. They are glitches in the matrix 😆

[Kingofkings1992]

I believe they are a legitimate thing, yes

[electromagnetic]

I do not.
