Random Notions of the Nonsensical - III

Do certain events happen as a consequence of something that has already happened ? Like the Domino effect. One thing happens that sets in motion a series of related events. Or are all events unrelated. Things happen by chance. It's interesting to think that the domino effect has a role to play. Maybe what happens after will be for the good. Or maybe it could be the worst thing a person can imagine will happen to them. On the other hand, if there is no such "real" thing as the domino effect, all events and happenings are unrelated, chance and coincidence takes the front row.

This is what got me thinking about this -

For sometime, maybe since the start of the new year, a certain meteorological event has occurred when another (what we like to call) unlikely event has also occurred. A person, let's call him/her Mac is believed to trigger the said meteorological event whenever he/she does something (what we like to call) unusual. Had the meteorological event happened once or on a couple of occasions, it is probably by chance or just some random coincidence. But what has been noticed by the aforementioned we that whenever Mac does this one particular thing, the meteorological event occurs like clockwork. It is really perplexing. We have been forced to believe that the connection between the two is something more that a mere coincidence.

Proponents of ancient Vedic spiritual and other mystical teachings insist on the view that there is absolutely no coincidence in the world. Maybe that's true. Maybe this person called Mac has an effect on the weather when he/she does something in particular. Maybe there are others out there who control far greater things rather than just the weather, when they do certain tasks. Maybe they are waiting for a particular time to reveal themselves. That would explain why Mac does something most of the time. Maybe we should be afraid.

Or maybe we should get a life.
