Clear Vision on a Cloudy Day

For many years now, I have been intrigued by the phenomenon of coincidence. The very thought of it has filled me with a sense of relief, for it has usually been something that gives me a very optimistic view of life as it is. Of late, however, coincidences have become so regular that I am beginning to doubt their very relevance. Why is it that we tend to give way too much importance to these coincidences?

I seem to have misconstrued these coincidences in such a way, that I have started to loathe them, at least at a sub-conscious level. After having tried to find a justification for every action I take, I have faltered in a very strange fashion. For the first time, I am in a position which I can’t justify, for justifying the same will put me in a rather peculiar state.

Nothing ought to be assumed to be obvious because of how it seems. The human mind tries to use logic to search for an explanation but isn’t that a justification in the first place? Why do we, then, continue to make the same errors in judgment time and again, till we are left with no proper alternative? I may have been wrong about coincidences throughout, so much so that I have sub-consciously thought that they are the part of a larger, divine plan, while all they are in reality are just coincidences. Although I was wrong, the mind has been altered so much that there is a constant ego-tussle within and I don’t know what I should believe and what, I shouldn’t. All I can do is have silent word of praise on my mind, that’s all. That, and leaving it to, well, coincidence.
