Re: The fickle finger of fate
No i don't believe in fate. I believe in probability which can be mathematically measured and chaos theory which is found in nature. Fate is just a superstition that we adapt our internal biased models to fit. So we take two loose ends and tie them up neatly in our imagination. When there is a random coincidence we put it in a box saying it was meant to be. When there are thousands of other similar random coincidences we ignore them as alien because they don't fit into our pattern of the world. Internalising vs externalising.Re: The fickle finger of fate
One brief, perhaps silly, follow-up. All during my life their have been certain songs which gave me intensely pleasurable "goose-bumps" down my arms and up the back of my neck. One of those songs is "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers. In the 5 decades since I first heard that song it has never failed bring those goose-bumps and even a tear to the corner of my eyes.Re: The fickle finger of fate
