I think human beings tend to feel things are working out "karmically" (to use a made-up term) because we subconsciously cherry-pick the events. After all, if there's 20 times you do anything that doesn't have some grand ironic twist, you're not going to take a mental note of it. As soon as something like this does happen, it seems too coincidental to be accident. But really if you look at the karmic proportions statistically, suddenly the universe isn't so mysterious....


.... only in this respect of course, the universe is a damn cool place. imp:
