Two Lessons, One day....

Two lessons learned today.

Lesson One: There is no such thing as coincidence. Things really do happen for a reason. Now theory, not be derived from a mindset of superstition, but rather one of reason, it seems to be coming truer and truer. I think about things that occur naturally in physics, every action producing an opposite and equal reaction. This is the way of the universe. Coincidence seems merely to be our minds recognition of something familiar to us. Hearing a song at a certain time or at a completely ironic moment, bumping into someone somewhere who you haven't seen in a certain amount of time, or some type of gift or knowledge coming your way that you weren't expecting but needed desperately. All of these occurrences are due to previously actions made by yourself or other parties which have in turn produced a series of events resulting in the exact occasion. Had any of these occurrences not taken place, or been changed slightly, then so would be the final result. Ya' dig?

Lesson two

Mistakes are judgments upon oneself and produce no actual result or good.

Standing on the belief that people are doing the best that they can with what they know is the position in which this adage seems to hold the most truth. Either way it is a perception non the less. If I tell myself that I have done something wrong and therefor have received a certain result, that is to my disliking, it is because I believe that I should have previously done something else, which would have given me a different result, perhaps the one I was hoping to achieve. Perhaps not. The recognition of a mistake is the like the calling the name of a demon from the depths of hell. Telling ourselves we have done something wrong, unfavorable, foolish, so on and forth. Unless the maker of the decision which produced an undesirable result, had a certain piece of knowledge that he ignored in making the decision, and because of this knowledge saw the undesirable outcome as a possible one, his action can not be classified as a mistake. A Mis- take. Taking the information that you were given in the wrong manner. There is that word again. Wrong.
