Worst week evarrr.

One hot summer when I was about 8, my dad put some soda on ice cream and offered it to me while I was jumping on the trampoline. It looked frothy and weird, but was really really good and refreshing. That was my first ice cream float, and I thought he was a genius. I wonder if the original guy that poured soda on ice cream did that on accident. He probably had a good day afterwards.

We had a strange circular argument about luck and things "happening for a reason." I know that it's common in religion to believe that a divine figure has set and laid out everything in our life, and an accident only looked like so to human eyes. But to a guy in the sky, your broken leg was next up on your life schedule. Then that means there are no "wrong/right place at the wrong/ right time" scenarios. No "coincidences." That can't be right.

Putting religion aside, if you find a Jefferson on the floor during a walk in the park, a lot of people would say it's your good luck, someone else's bad luck. But he blamed it on that person's ignorance/ stupidity. Not luck. Same with car 'accidents'. Some will say that it was terrible luck that you happened to be the car nearby, but you can still blame it on someone else's stupidity. But isn't it bad coincidence that you were at the exact wrong place at the exact wrong time?

It's been somewhat bothering me. Everything makes sense, but the argument is circular.

Anyway, people have been complaining of a terrible week, whether it be bad luck, stupidity, Karma, or the hand of God(s). Well....I know at least one thing can clearly be blamed on stupidity. It's been really bumming him out. He's been completely bummed since the result of his test, and it's strange to see him like that. He started worrying about the future and probable failure, etc. I told him perhaps it's a slice of humble pie, but he wouldn't have any of it. Oh well. I can only try, I suppose. Am I terrible to think he deserved this last week?
