Do you believe in coincidences? Why or why not?

Question

Do you believe in coincidences? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No, not really,  I believe everything happens for a reason,  but, on the other hand, I feel that there are possibilities for the odd Coincidence or two...  

Answer 2

There is a quote or saying that goes like this, "Don't confuse coincidence for fate."  

I think in my own life, I have such a belief that things happen for a reason.  And in that process, sometimes things happen in a sequential order, for the next thing to happen after that, and so on.  Sometimes when in the moment, I cannot see the big picture in that all of the things that have occurred were related and needed to happen as they did.  

I think some people claim, "coincidence" perhaps because they do not have the belief in fate, like myself, and others do.  

Thanks for reading!

Answer 3

again it's another coincidence that I have to answer the same question that is similar to angel baby's question.

Answer 4

Yes, because they have happened to me alot. An example is.. I went to a school, and one of my friends went there to. School ended, and on the first day back, she wasn't there. I was sooo sad. Then, my mom had me transfered to another school, and in my history classs, there she was. Now that is a coincedence.

Answer 5

what might seem like a coincidence to you may not be for the other person like with two people meeting at a store may be planned by one of them  but i do think there are complete coincidences that happen  i have been two hundred miles away from home and meet someone i know and i know it is pure chance on both of our parts so it goes both ways  not only in meeting people but other things too

Answer 6

I know they happen.

I asked a question a week ago "What is a premonition?"  One of the posters said their mother said an earthquake would hit LA before August 8th.  And a few days after my post it happened.  I chose his answer as best.

So yes I know they do happen.

Answer 7

coincidence is it a coincidence that i am answering this question? Or would the coincidence be that you asked? Try, How could both be coincidence?????? Furthermore what does it matter as the matrix says what happened has happened and could not have happened any other way so is it a coincidence most assuredly not.

Answer 8

i do and i don't sometimes i just think things happen for a reason  

Answer 9

I believe that coincidences are no more than random events.  I don't see them as evidence of any transcendental plan in my life.

Each moment in our lives has an infinity of possibilities.  Even with an infinity of possible outcomes, one of them has to occur.

Answer 10

No. I believe everything happens for a reason because there is some kind of cosmological order that allows everything, even time to compliment the other source. The other source is me and you and every living organism.

Answer 11

Some. Most..  you know, roll the dice enough times..  Then too, cause/effect..   there are your 'coincidences' -

As for any 'predestined' 'Divine' stuff..  nah.  Reality is the best way..  if it is to be.. it's up to.. 'me' ; - )
