Crossing paths

Sometimes, I can't help but marvel at how facinating life is ... yes, it's always full of ups and downs, always springing surprises ... full of emotions. But I guess it's not as simple as just a simple biological explaination. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the biology of life itself is simple ... until today, there are still missing pieces of the puzzles ...

But think of it, what makes you cross path with your parents, your spouse, friends, enemy, neighbours or even the very person you sit next to in the MRT? And sometime, this very person keeps crossing your path time and again ... an orbit? haha.

Maybe my jetlag is making me type nonsenses again ... well, this time at my training, I cross path with colleagues from Brazil and Belgium on top of the usual Switzerland/Germany guys. So for the few days, our path crossed, we go to the same place with nearly the same agenda of bringing some knowledge home, but after that, our path split again. We go back to our own lifes, own homes with our own missions. And all this, happens 6000-8000 miles away, even the day and night is inverted; so different is our path but yet they crossed at times...

Is this not fate or destiny? I can't find other explaination for it then. Try it, the next time you look at your parent, your spouse, your kids, your friends or even the person serving you in a shopping center or just walking by you ... look at them hard, then ask, how precise the timing has to be, how accurate the co-ordinates had to be that you are looking at him/her now ... a slight 20secs of mis-timing or just a different turning of direction would have put you both on totally different stranger path.
