[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 415749, member: 4720"] [b][PLAIN]Re: Re: [OT] Encounters with fate, consequence, destiny and general weird stuff.[/PLAIN][/b] We're not [i]all[/i] ignorant savages, you know. ;) I'm surprised this thread hasn't been getting more responses. Are we all being good little Aristotlean Westerners? Refusing to admit to that which we cannot prove? Even little things count. Hasn't anyone ever felt suddenly sad, very, very sad and lonely, and then found out that they were standing in an old battlefield? Or had a really good day for no apparent reason and then found out that their kid sister had gotten the acceptance letter from the college she wanted that morning? Granted, the 2nd one is entirely likely to be either coincidence or projection, but the 1st still bugs me to this day. [/QUOTE]
