Reflecting on luck and why things happen as they do

and so, here I am today having just read my 'defacto cousin's' blog. I say defacto cousin as he is actually my partners cousin which means in some weird and wonderful way I can claim Les as my defacto cousin...If you are reading this Les I hope it makes you smile... just making a quick reflection musing on why things happen when they do...

Is it some strange twist of fate, a destiny unravelling before us. Is it random... I recently discovered that randomness is not that random sometimes. Take the Chaos game for example. No matter how many random throws of the dice are made, if you plot the points the big picture looks very similar. Something like this...

Sierpinki's triangle

If we plot the happenings in our lives and when they happen and compare them to somebody else' life do we end up with a similar big picture. Is our life path one big fractal pattern emerging over time?

Hmmmmmnnn ... something to think about ... did he turn right for a reason? what is the world trying to achieve. I think of Braveheart and put this out there for you Les ... They can break your leg, but they will never break your spirit. :-)  Get well soon mate!
