COINCIDENCE MUCH!!!

“A certain man once lost a diamond cuff-link in the wide blue sea, and twenty years later, on the exact day, a Friday apparently, he was eating a large fish - but there was no diamond inside. That’s what I like about coincidence.”

Coincidence is a sequence of events that seem planned for even though they are accidental. I have had so many equivalent events that sometimes my life seems to be going through repetition. I would wake up one morning and the order of the events do not differ from the day before and this made me feel like I was still living in yesterday.

Is there such thing as coincidence? If you bump into someone on the street today in town, precisely at Kenchic, and bump into the same person tomorrow on the same street at Kenchic would you call that coincidence? What if you bump into that person on the third day? What would you call that? Coincidence much huh?



Some people do not believe in coincidence at all. They would rather call it fate or destiny. A word would not exist if there was no such thing as it. The happenings in our days sometimes are not just accidents. This also does not mean that everything that happens to us is a coincidence.

For instance, I do not think that love is a coincidence. Many of our beautiful African ladies meet handsome fellas and call it coincidence. Deciding whether to start a conversation with the particular men is by choice. When you fall in love, that's fate.

One thing you have to keep in mind is there is always room for coincidence.
Twenty-four hours in a day, twenty-four bottles of soda in a crate. Coincidence?
