Do you believe in coincidences?

[Sheree Bobbins]

Are they messages from the beyond? "God wink" as a religious leader suggests? I never used to take notice of them but now I do. I'm always on the lookout for guidance from above.

Unless, of course, I misinterpret the meaning of the coincidence. Nor do I beat myself up trying to understand them. I just think they make living interesting.

No,I don't believe in coincidences. I believe that all things happen for a reason and that God orchestrates the details of my life.

 

[GeorgeG]

Things happen. I don't put much thought into why unless it's something I can control.

 

[bananda]

for me, it depends how significant the coincidence is.

Everything is a coincidence, and nothing is a coincidence. At every point in time, what happens next is either a natural result of what came before, or an event that happened as a result of random happenstance.

The issue of significance is important: Significance is, exclusively, a product of our human creativity. We instill significance, in things and/or in events, by our intention -- we give them significance, as a reflection of our wish for them to have significance.
