MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - Sometimes life has too many coincidences to be coincidence.

I have a very logical brain for the most part. I tend to side with the assumption that everything has a reasonable explanation, no matter how weird. There are a few times, however, where I'm completely comfortable accepting things like fate, divine intervention, karma...etc.

I was really late getting out the door this morning. No particular reason, it just seemed like every time I headed toward the door some little thing would pop into my head and I'd turn around. 30 minutes of little things added up quick. I finally make it out the door and turn left at the first intersection, instead of right. For 3 years I've been turning right, for no reasonable explanation that didn't happen today. I'm not able to make a U-turn immediately, so I continue going the wrong way for a bit. At that point Dunkin Donuts coffee pops into my head. It's on a route I would never otherwise take to work, but for some reason I'm craving it. I'm already very behind schedule, so I figure why not. I head out of my way to Dunkin Donuts.

Nearing my coffee fix, I see a car stall ahead of me. The cars hazards flip on. As I get closer, the car looks familiar. It's my brothers car. What are the odds. I'm there to help him push the car out of traffic seconds after he has an issue.

I know this isn't the most unreasonable scenario to have happen, especially with my brother living close by. But what ~is~ odd is how the morning seemed to dictate to me that I would be almost an hour off schedule, a mile in the opposite direction, on a road I haven't taken to work EVER. To be at that spot just when someone I know would need my help most just seems to much to have a reasonable explanation.

Karma, Fate, Divine Intervention...whatever you are...keep it up. You seem to have a better life compass than I do. I'll just try to listen to directions as best I can.
