LIFE EXPLAINED, PART 107

Sigmund Freud said there are no coincidences. That observation is on a par with wondering whether or not a tree falling in the forest makes a sound if nobody's there to hear it. Of course it does and of course there are coincidences, and we all experience them often. Makes you wonder if old Doc Freud got out all that much between fretting about his mommy complex and ingesting massive amounts of cocaine. Now there's a recipe for paranoia, and paranoid people never think anything is a coincidence. But don't try to change them, they'll just think you're plotting against them. Besides, they're quite amusing just as they are, and we need all the entertainment we can get.
