We are pattern seeking animals, so much that we tend to detect patterns even in the absence of them. Coincidences are the same as normal occurrences, they just appear different to our brains because finding patterns is key to our survival. But really there's nothing more to them than that. Things, good and bad, will continue to happen regardless of your opinion of why they happen. In the end, we are dust motes on a dust mote floating in the vast ocean of matter that ultimately-as all evidence points to-doesn't give a fuck. And that indifference is rather comforting to me personally....I would certainly hate to be dependent on a moody, judgemental universe-or god for that matter.
