Fate and Co-Incidence: The Bigger Picture.

Is there such a thing as fate, or co-incidence for that matter? Are our lifes just a pre-set mix of different decisions that are already made for us or do we truly have free will?

Sometimes in life, we all have that ery feeling that if something happens or if for some reason, it co-insides with something else, we will treat this as a co-incidence. This can go to the ultimate improbable extremes and this is how we find ourselves beginning to ponder whether fate is playing its role.

Personally, I dont see fate as being real in any sense. Time will continue to press on and we will all continue to make the right and wrong decisions upon our own free will. The only co-incidences that do occur are when our minds get carried away with ourselves and begin to relate things together. Some interesting theories to bear in mind however, include:

- The Science Experiment. Perhaps were all test subjects in a laboratory somewhere. A splatter of life under the microscope. Maybe even being controlled.
- The Matrix. However improbable this may first appear (and ofcourse im not quoting the film scenario as gospel), when you consider how technology has evolved over the last one hundred years, you could never rule it out.
- Multiple universes. Strangely and perhaps what is more shocking is that this thoery is the most likely of all thoeries to explain the grand expanse of space and everything within it. The prospect of there being millions of universes much like our own, where each decision is played out differently. Maybe even some instances where the Earth fails to exist at all.

Im a fan of the multiple universe theory myself, however, there are probably a thousand more ideas out there and still none of them may proof correct. The world is a strange place, much stranger than we give it credit for.
