Event 4

While i was on the train this morning listening to the radio off my phone a guy sat down to me wearing the same jumper as me. In my head i laughed and though what a coincidence. Then i started thinking. Of all the people and of all the times to catch a train and this particular carriage and to sit next to me. I started thinking about coincidence and probability and how people see it differently. Some people call it fate, luck or destiny. I'd be more inclined to say luck or coincidence. There are multiple ways people see this some don't think about it much and say "oh thats lucky" some say god's watching over me and looking out for me and others like to think of it through science such as Schrodinger's cat theory or the multiverse theory. I prefer to see it from the science side. A good example of this would be last Friday night my mate and I were out and he had forgotten his keys to his flat, we decided to go home anyway and see if a window or something was open. Upon getting to his house we found his keys sticking out of his car door. We had been gone for about 3 hours. I was surprised at the chance that his keys were there and also that no one had stolen his car yet, it was pretty much sitting there asking for it. He then said that god must be looking over him being christian and all. Which i shake my head at. I don't like the idea or possibility of a higher power controlling what i do as it gives me no point to live as everything is pre-determined and no way to change it. But the idea of Multiple "me's" moving along the same time-line choosing the choices i didn't choose is a bit of a mind fuck... but incredibly interesting to me.
