I feel that something can be coincidental and happen for a reason too. It is not God/desses' intention nor do they have the time to worry about or plan every detail of every life; once life begins it just happens in many respects and that's why we were given it. Going back to the article here, and speaking of sychronicities and coincidences, yesterday I saw a drawing of several boxes within boxes on a greaseboard at work. Each box had a label and attributes assigned to it beginning with the inner box being "our box" and stating "think outside the box." The box encompassing that one stated "thinking outside the box just puts you inside someone else's box." If it was a coincidence that I saw the boxes around the same time that this topic was posted then they are simply two seemingly random and unconnected events that occurred at about the same time. If both events happened for a reason I am presented with the conflicting information of either thinking outside the box or not thinking outside the box. For me either choice has not been arrived at using a logical series of steps for making decisions.
