Coincidence exists

2010-05-14T15:26:00.000-07:00

At the table with the royal family...
The Dutch entertainer 'Herman Finkers' (I) in conversation with the prince of Wales (he):

He said: Coincidence does not exist.
I said coincidence does exist.
He said: Coincidence does not exist.
I said coincidence does exist.
He said: Coincidence does not exist.
I said coincidence does exist.

Well, to end this silly discussion, I turned on my transistor radio. At that moment I heard someone say: coincidence does not exist.

I said: Well, if that's not a coincidence, I'll eat my hat.
Right?

How to predict the future

The deeper you try, the less you'll defend

The deeper you try to go into the character of these universal relations which have always been the subject of philosophy, the less you feel inclined to make any pronouncement about them whatever; because you become ever more aware how unclear, inappropriate, inaccurate and onesided every pronouncement must be.

I am myself

2008-01-22T22:17:00.000-08:00

I Live. I am myself. I am consistent. I don't change.

If someone doesn't change anymore, he's dead.
Therefore the real I must be physically dead and my 'changing self' must be physical alive.

What everyone perceives is my 'instant moment consistent I' that changes over time. What we really share is our consistent I that doesn't change.
