Be Careful What you Wish For

[Ming the Merciful]

Am I the only one to see the humorous side of such event? For the longest time I didn't contract anything no matter what kind of people I met or interacted with (also my family being sick). I felt somewhat impervious, or at least on top of my bodily condition. Then just recently I met the neighbor girl (who had given cough to my son some weeks ago - note, she didn't have it anymore) and deeply thought what would happen, if I'd have something like a cough after such a long time. The next day I had cough. I think it's pretty hilarious on some cosmic level. 'Universe: Alright, you wanted to know what would happen. Experience time! Me: Wait! I'm not sure this is what I meant. Universe: Too late!'

I do see the humor in it.

This sort of thing happens to me all the time in another way. An example: Some years ago my partner and I were driving home, and I mentioned that as long as I'd lived in the desert I had never seen a Gila Monster (they spend 90-95% of their lives underground). The next morning, I opened the French door in the bedroom and a Gila Monster was on the step outside it. Then, yesterday a neighbor was looking for her lost cat, and I talked to her. She asked if I'd seen any Gila Monsters this year. I said I hadn't seen any in 2 or 3 years. That afternoon I walked into the backyard and there was a Gila Monster.

I still believe in the theory of the "Cosmic Joke". There are times when the God(s) are playing games with us, (seriously?), seriously! Incidences and coincidences. It almost appears as if we are attuned to a certain State of Consciousness, that, that something happens. Sometimes I can be out going somewhere and thinking of somebody, and then they suddenly appear. Precognition or coincidence? Then the same question arises, is everything preordained, or does it happen randomly. Orderliness and Randomness are the opposite sides of the same coin. Heads you win, and tails you lose. I am waiting for the coin stand vertically, and how many myriads of lifetimes before it happens?
