Nature runs on its own but in this process human activities intervene.
Nothing is a silo on this earth, other factors intervene. For example, clouds forms and when it’s too heavy it forms rain. But sometimes clouds fly away and a particular place turns dry.
Similarly, I may want to catch a train but I may get late because there was a traffic jam and miss the train. Unfortunately, after running for 300 kms, the train meets with an accident and many people die. Now, I missed the train for a purpose is not because God wanted to save me.
People try to reason out, or they want some explanation for the narrow shave and they want to believe that some invisible reason protected them.
Many people have stories of many escapes which they are not just aware. It is in some people’s nature or experience they have beliefs or developed a belief in some supernatural for this escape.
Some move on but they don’t anything big about it as it was a chance and they do not depend on chance. They just take a practal approach to life. The other variety, the inherently religious minded people attribute chance to God and many of these are great gamblers or too superstitious and they live on the God to bless them with the luck factor.
I personally don’t crave for anything but I try my best and invest in various sectors to avoid losses from focusing on one sector only. I always hope to cook something for me because if I live too long, I won’t be able to cook for myself when I am too old.
So, when I am young, I choose to entertain myself at an affordable cost by cooking at home. I am lucky to own a kitchen and simple instruments.
