Random Life Events (RIEs)

the_guy545

Random Life Events, or RIEs, which I literally just made up while making this conversation, are events in your life that are completely random at times, but unbeknownst to you or the people involved in the random event affect your life in some way. After reading an article about if life really is just a bunch of random events, it all comes down to "Does it even matter if life is random or not?" Basically, what are some random things or events that have happened in your life? And have they affected your life in some way? I haven't really had anything random happen to me...at least I don't think. Of course, they may be miniscule, and I might of not looked close enough...But here's a thing to think about: Every person you meet, every person that walks past you, drives past you, or flies above you, everyone you interact with, your story and their story have just crossed over. And you probably wouldn't even realize that.

the_guy545 Besides absolutely nothing in this universe is random (due to some certain thing known as causality), the idea of changing someones life by doing something insignificant did bother me for quite some time. Causality, while disproving the idea of randomness, does also explain the RLEs. Having someone help you after work will result in them beeing later than they would if they went home right away. None of you could probably determine what events they cause in a single second (unless you somehow manage to neither think nor affect anything (including air) in said period of time). Something as simple as opening a window could somehow result in an accident on the other side of the world. This does not mean you can't open your widow anymore. You could as well save someones life by doing so. Your causing RLEs continuously, just as they are influencing your life continuously. Which is the exact reason I stopped bothering about casualitys. There are too many happenings for a humans mind to comprehend, too many influences and too little time. We can't stop RLEs from happening. Our only option is to accept them and keep going.

I have thought about this a lot throughout my life. Simply put, your miniscule (most inconsequential) actions in life have affected so many people, amplifying its effect with each person, that you may have altered the fate of a life entirely. You will never meet these people, you will never know how their fates have been affected. But the same has happened to you. You will never meet these people, whos most insignificant, most random, actions have ended changing you

Mark zuckerberg did the smol thing of acting like a lizard on live television. This has revolutionized memers all across the world. We can now embrace new memes like ZUCC. This has effected my life because people will waste my lte and bandwidth because they’re trying to be funny by saying mark zuckerberg memes. At least I wish that would happen.

the_guy545 The movie is called sliding doors, and it’s about alternate realities. Basically it’s about what would happen if a women missies a train and doesn’t miss the train. It’s about how her life would have been totally different.
