I first came across this line in the N Shyamalan’s movie ‘Signs’. And since then it’s kinda stuck at the back of my mind. There have been numerous occasions when certain events that have occurred, have strengthened my belief in this particular line. The events can be so trivial like remembering a friend and getting a call from him to as vague as thinking of an exotic country to visit and actually watching tourism feature on the same country on BBC that very night. There are more such uncanny events but I can’t recollect them now.
\nNow getting back to the quote, I must confess, the true depth of the quote hasn’t still sunk in. I really can’t explain to myself what the statement conveys or how it can be interpreted, accepted and not clash with my other belief like nothing in life can be planned for and the scientific concept of entropy. Still with me???
\nWhat is coincidence? It is an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental. But if there are no coincidences than that would mean that every event is a predetermined outcome. And hence every thing in this universe has a path predefined.
\nIf one agrees with this than the proposition in the quote is valid. Nothing happens randomly. Things occur because they have to and everything that happens is linked to what will happen and what has already occurred.
\nBut the concept of entropy says that every entity tends towards more randomness. So in my case I have inclinations to believe in both these contradictory notions.
\nWhat do think? Does this give you some food for thought, or do you think I am a whacko?
\nOn that note, I shall bid you goodbye. Till next time, keep the faith!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
