Faithless statement


I don’t believe in coincidences, but I notice repetition and pattern when they occur. With observation and deliberation, meaning somehow, sometimes, arises. Let’s say that I do believe in chance and physical laws, as well as some sort of meaning, perhaps. While there might be no one out there, yet somehow I clearly seem to shape my own sense of meaning from these supposedly fundamental realities. 

Remarkably, there is considerable overlap, and some discord, of ideas of meaning among members of my species. I don’t think that’s a coincidence, I think it results from common origins and some bad luck. But even suggesting something like the Big Bang and what followed, I have to wonder what it’s all about.

I guess I’ll go have an egg crème at Aimee’s.
