Chance. Its all a crapshoot

absolute chance. We're tiny insignificant specks on the planet en mass we affect the planet, but really we're just specks. On a galactic or universal scale we don't even represent specks. Just like any other thing existing, we are. We began, we'll end. Unlike a lot of other cosmic matter (as far as we understand currently) we're an anomaly in that we are intelligent and because we think we actually matter. The only grand schemes or designs we're involved in are those that we choose to (or are forced to) be involved with -- and those are all schemes either of our own design or of another person's.

I really believe in two things the older I've become:
What goes around, comes around.
Every dog has his day.

I think "it's complicated".Do you believe in these? Do you think things happen by chance or fate?
From our current rational perspective, 99.99 plus per cent random material chance.
But I can easily conceive that at a level that we can't easily or often reach, perhaps because we only sense a very limited slice of the dimensionality of the universe in which we are embedded ...
what appears to us as chance is deterministic. Simple physics.
Maybe one day we'll be able to penetrate these physics. In fact, probably.

I'm not much of a believer in superstition and think things happen by chance.
I think someone's ability to recognize timing often gets confused with luck.
Right time right place kinda thing.
I'd really like to believe karma exists but have yet to see enough to believe it.

luck...yes...superstition...no...kharma...absolutely
i also found that some ppl are good luck charms for me. kharma might be a self fulfilling prophecy but i definitely find it helps if i plant positive vibes wherever i go.

OK...Do you believe in these? Do you think things happen by chance or fate?
What do you call this true story:
I had a Large Motor Home, and long ass trailer...
I was driving down the freeway in stop n go out of town going to ride the sand....
I had someone yell... "You got a flat on the trailer"
I pulled off next exit, not knowing what was there... I'm over 60' long....
I drive down a side street, and find a closed school with long front parking lot...
I am take tire/wheel off and my torsion is bent, I must have hit something like a curb...
I'm greesy, ready to drop my trailer and leave X wife there, while I go to Mfgr 15 miles away, 30 round trip in stop and go...
I call, they have a torsion, and the special tool I don't have...to fix it...
Hung up call... and a guy in a Lexus drives into parking lot...
Rolls down window: "You need any help?"
First words out of his mouth.... do I need help...
"Thanks man, I can't get the torsion off but, I going to unhook my MH and...."
He says: "I got a couple of tools in my trunk, maybe it would do it..."
He has the right tool... he helps me take it apart...
He then offers me let me drive you up to Sport Trailer.... I'm south of the 60 freeway... miles away...
I can't ask you....
I walk over to my soon to be X wife: " If you never see me again... "
The guy drove me to the trailer place [no charge] I got the part [no charge]
He drove me back... And helped me Re-install the torsion....
Got me on the road... Two hours of what just hapened...
Was that Karma re-paid... Chance that a perfect stranger would happen by...
Or Was it just fate, that made a stranger in a Lexus help me....
You decide....
Oh yes... after the weekend, I got home...
I decided to call the business card he gave me.. when I asked what he did....
Well... The lady that answered the phone said:
"There is no B.... Jonnard or C or D or any one with that name that has ever worked for our company... ever......."

i've seen it in my own life.. i don't know what you call it, nor do i care, but this is what i've witnessed..
i wasn't always the nicest person in the world, and did some pretty shitty things in my time, and it seems to me that for every shitty thing i'd do, a shitty thing would happen back to me..
and when i finally changed my life around, and started to do good, positive things, good, positive things happened in return.. call it karma, call it what you will, but it's very real..
