    Dont know how to explain this but you know when you havent thought about or seen someone for ages and suddenly you start thinking about them and maybe bump into them. Well, does this mean that the other person has been thinkin about you too. I think there is a name for it but I cant remember. Any suggestions?

    The person may indeed have been thinking about you. But thoughts are creations in their own right so when you start thinking of someone, its more likely you'll bump into them; and if they've been thinking of you the chances increase drastically - like attracts like.

    There's no such thing as coincidence.

    Absolutely correct, the sooner people realise this the better as it has many ramifications.

    Why does *everything* have to be meaningful?
    Can we not just have some good old fashion acausal randomness once in a while?

    If you go around thinking everything that's happening to you is happening for a reason you are treading the path of psychotic delusion...

    Why not say that some things may be coincidences, and some things not..
