Example, a person steals money from a store, whilst driving out, they are hit by another car. Was it karma, or a coincidence?
Example, a person wins big in the lotto twice, Is the person lucky or is it a coincidence?
Example, a person devoted to God their whole life falls ill, and is on their deathbed when suddenly their health improves and they get much better? Luck, coincidence, Miracle(Higher power)?
These are just examples of some situations and different ppl would label them differently, i however do not belive in luck and when i say luck or lucky, i mean that it was just a nice coincidence, others might say that god wanted it like that, however i do not belive that He directs things like car crashes and such, i think that every thing doesnt happen because its supposed to, but because of many reasons that lead up to the thing. Lenghty question, but very important to me, im not saying im right, but i would like to see what u think

Life is a series of random events that sometimes inadvertently come together to form a cogent thought or activity.
I believe that if a God exists, He sets life into motion but certainly doesn't control the path or destination.

Well it does often seem random. We can control the randomness or we can release it back into randomness. If everything is one, there's no randomness. When it's duality and mulitple agents changing, it's experienced as randomness. as in a second it could go the other way. I don't see any pattern with changing minds. Just because particles in a singularity act one way doen't mean that in existence, duality, it still behaves that way. It's a different state. Somehow I see we make the pattern. Chose this brick, not that. Saying it is different on a different level, I don't see it is, in this dimension. Unless it goes from wave to particle to spirit and is alway available everywhere. Then it's called into existance like picking up a brick, but it's now subject to my randomness. Free will is to be able to pick and change and not pick. Even if it relates to everyone elses choices, that's pretty random. We can call it out of another dimension or not, else we wouldn'd be co-creating. I doubt everything will ever reach a stable situation where we control everything. What a burden. I like the idea of both.This here and that there and then later reversed. Predictability has to be predestination. But both allows for both. Predictable if nothing changes and unpredictalbe if something does change. Like if you do this then that but if not this. I think you'll like it put this way. We are programmed since three years old. We won't go far from our programming. Our results will vary considerably in many ways, but with roughly the same outcome, predestination. If we don't listen to 'oursleves', but listen to our intuition, we cut through the programming and can make substantial changes. From the left brain it really is random. From the right brain it's selected and only random to the left brain people. Check this out, this is good to know.

I kinda support the fate idea because a lot of times it seems that things are just 'meant to be' regardless of how hard I try to accomplish some other outcome.
I WISH there was something like Karma - but I don't think so. I think that's just an idea to make us believe justice exists on a cosmic level. Too many awful things go 'unpunished.'

An old dear friend of mine told me a long time ago, 'If you want to learn about God, eliminate three words from your vocabulary... coincidence, chance and luck! ... Damned if he wasn't on to something. God Bless you, Joe Hamilton. r.i.p.

I like the concept of Karma or poetic justice. what goes around comes around (and smacks you in the back of the head).
really its nothing more or less than the golden rule.
" do to (for) others as YOU WOULD HAVE them do to (for) you"
words to live by
