When Paths Collide

When you look at it, it's pretty amazing how every single thing in existance has it's own timeline. That has got to be one of the most amazing things that God has created in this world. The only thing seperating each one of us from something else is time. Seriously, when you think about it, it's pretty insane, don't you think?

More specifically, when the paths of two or more people collide, many different things can happen. I witnessed something today that kind of started this mad train of thoughts for me. I was on the train coming home from the university when I saw something happen between two people. Between what they were doing is within the two of them and I will say nothing more. However, what got me was that when I saw these two come into contact with each other (LOL this could be interpreted in such a wrong way), it made me think, "how in the world did these two people get to the point they're at this instant? What caused them to be doing what they're doing right now?" Then I began to remember some things I either learned or was taught about the interaction of people. I remembered that our lives are built so that each and every single thing we come into contact with, no matter how big or small, plays some sort of influence on us. Each event leads to the next and it just keeps building and building, ultimately creating the world we live in and who we are as people. Life is such a complicated thing to explain because there's a billion ways to look at it and just the way that God "wired" this world is beyond me and I definitely think it's worth thinking about and learning about. Either that, or I'm just a psycho.

Live high.
