Maybe if it's something that happens once or twice. But it has happened way too many times in my life to think of these occurrences as "coincidences".
In my own personal views, I have a deep faith in God and it gets stronger every day. I believe He has a plan for all of us, and at the same time, He lets us go our own way, but then we reap what we sow. Too many times have I been "bailed out" of situations. Some I got myself into; some were not my fault. And always, at the last minute, help arrived. Some people don't have that kind of "luck", if you want to call it that, but I know it was God intervening. I know a lot of people don't believe in God and what He can do, but anyone who knows me and knows what has gone on in my life and how I've gotten through it, is convinced there is a God. There are people worse off than I am, yes. I'm not trying to make it sound like I'm a poor soul who has a miserable life. But I've had some extremely trying times and if it weren't for God's intervention, who knows where I'd be now.
So, no, I don't believe too many things are a "coincidence". Things happen for a reason--good or bad.

Depends upon your view of fate & the cosmos! Some would say that everything is pre-determined, yet others say that the future/life is what we make of it.
If you just happen to bump into an old friend while in another city or country, most would call that a coincidence!

No there is nothing called a coincidence as they are all incidences chosen according to our life script, there is nothing random in the Universe, only choices that we make and thus we shift into a different reality.

there is nothing like co-incidence 'cos the fate take everything on it self. if something happens n u name it coincidence then actually it is not. it is a step towards destiny n everything which comes in ur life unknowingly or with ur knowledge are the elements that shape u for ur destiny.

No. I believe that everything is connected. It's like the domino's effect. One movement makes the move of another. Your thoughts determine how you are going to react to something. Someone Else's reaction determines your response. And so on.
