Quote: "Coincidences happen often enough to make people believe there really is something out there piecing our fates together like some great etheral jigsaw."
Fair point, I'd refer to my conversion story of Pastafarianism, enough coincidences that would account as an epiphany, had Pastafarianism been a serious religion. But I won't get into it here, as it touches the boundaries of religion.
I think Revelation and Epiphany and all that is purely psychological, as in something, someone or somewhere may give you a really optimistic feeling, or even a high and I think that's great, as a place that makes you feel like that is probably a good place for you. Or maybe a shift in train of thought (which can be inspired by something) that suddenly makes you go 'ahah', which can leave you wiser than you were before and realise something you didn't see before.
Quote: "Quote: "I firmly believe that there is just one person that is meant for you (it comes from my belief system)."
Doesn't give us great odds then. Out of everyone on earth, there's one person for me. Chances of me encountering that person (and chatting up), about the same chance as winning the lottery a few times in a row I guess."
If my true love is a member of an Aboriginal Tribe in Australia, then the chances of meeting her would be thinner than Posh Spice on a diet. I think the idea, though awfully romanticised isn't particularly realistic and I think taking that train of thought can also be a dangerous one - as you'll only become obsessed with 'the one'. I think true love is the sort of thing you'd read in a Jane Austen novel, you don't see it at first, but you grow on each other and sometimes you may not realise it.
Okay, now I'm going to get lynched for reading a couple of Jane Austen novels.
