Fate And Chaos

I'm not sure how many of you believe in fate, but i can definately say that i do. To me fate has always played a crucial role in my life, weither i've accepted it or not. I told one of my friends today, lets call him Mr.g, that my blog for this evening would be on fate, and he was intrigued to hear my thoughts on it. So i gave him an example, i said, "look at the clock, and tell me the time" the time was 1:14. So i told him to add those 3 numbers up - 14 isn't one number in this- and of course, you get 6. Today is the 6th of November. Weird how that works huh? Of course this is just an example of something random and not related to fate at all, but if i wanted it to be about fate or guessing my fate then i could say this. Possibly in 6 hours something interesting could happen to you, or maybe 6 minutes after a certain hour, something unexpected could happen to you, altering the way you think forever. Lets try it right now. The time is 5:33. I haven't looked at the time since i logged over 20 minutes ago, so this is completely random. 5+3+3= 11. Eleven is usually when i go to bed or write my blogs. Was it by fate that 11 occured or just pure coincidence? By now your probably wondering how i came onto this, and its quite the interesting story. I think it was around 2 years ago that me and my buddy Mr.N were hanging out, playing some guitar in my room. It was around 10:15, and for some reason we just started talking about some of the random things in the world, and we figured we'd make a little game out of it. When i looked at the clock it said 10:21. Now, when i first thought about it, it meant nothing, but then i looked again. 10:21 has the same numbers as my favourite radio station 102.1 the edge. Weird huh? Next i added the numbers up 1+0+1+2= 4. Mr.N came over at 4:00 pm. then i looked at the numbers as a date, 10/21. So the tenth month and the 21st day. So if this was two years ago, it would have been september 21st 2005. With that date in mind, we figured it was code for something amazing to happen on that day. Mr.G told me today that this relates to Chaos Theory. Chaos theory for simpletons would be like this: The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen. Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does. (http://www.imho.com/grae/chaos/chaos.html)

See how that works. It's uncontrolable and unpredictable.....
