BLOG 191: Coincidence

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” ― Albert Einstein

As any student of cause and effect can tell you, a coincidence is when two or more events happen either simultaneously or in sequence, without any sort of obvious connection. Generally coincidences surprise us because; naturally enough (given their nature) we just weren't expecting them. As any student of cause and effect will tell you sometimes things just happen at the same time.

But as Albert Einstein (not a dumb man) so eloquently pointed out, this is not a natural state of play. Coincidence of action and event is by definition unexpected. But when supposedly unrelated events happen again... and again... oh... and again! (ad infinitum)...are you witnessing the universe at play... or are you giving in to human stupidity? Put more simply....At what point do you stop pretending that accidents of fate and timing are at play and something is orchestrated?

When one suspects that the so called coincidence (that happened at a timing that would benefit the same person/cause the same person most damage) has happened yet again, you just would not wish to be British. Here as a nation we deem the BEST reaction to employ is to do the politic thing.

This action is ingrained in our culture, it runs from the top to the bottom. One only has to look at the example set by our wonderful head of state. (Note to my overseas readers: Our head of state is a non-elected, hereditary role where one person has to be the moral compass of a nation – act out the best of what we could be – tough gig but well paid!)

The best of what we could be according to the example of the British Head of State is to be politic (whisper from behind the scenes rather than risk the merit of your argument at the point of attack). In other words... smile and wave, smile and wave... no matter what.

One should not be combative ever. If you suspect there is not a coincidence and that the game is not being played as straight as it claims... you should not shout your concerns or present your findings; instead you should make bouquets from the sparse weeds that grow on the sidelines of the playing fields.

If you wish to record that at every turn your path is thwarted, your motives questioned and perverted, your character assassinated – do not do so publically. Whisper – to a priest or wall or something that will not report or act upon your findings and get back out there and Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave.

From the example set to us we know that if you smile enough and wave enough your weary limbs will ache so much that it will block the searing pain of an orchestrated attack.

I have tried this. I have whispered my findings to a brick wall, I have lifted my arm and I have followed the example.

Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave. Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave, Smile and Wave.

No still hurts.

Damn it!
