Fate

Some people say you are predestined a fate. And all things happen for a reason. I sometimes believe this, and other times I get hyperlogical and think that, instead of a grand design or plan, our strength as humans is shown in our ability to react and adapt when things don't quite go as planned.

You miss a train. Find $20 on the ground. Get a job. Don't get a job. Meet someone at the least likely of times and fall in love.

These things if taken as unplanned events can present you with opportunity or challenges to grow and learn. It is really easy to use postdiction (the opposite of prediction) to ascribe these things some giant plan.  The is the same way people say Nostradamas predicted Hitler and 9/11. 

Or... Maybe this is all a carefully scripted story bent on organizing 7+billion lives. That sounds like a project management nightmare to me. 

No. Set the wheels in motion, and let's see how humans act and react to all the nuances of life.

Just be sure not to miss those opportunities when they present themselves. Okay!?
