Intriguing tales of coincidence: Significant meaning or just a bunch of stuff that happens

We’ve all experienced it at some point during our lives. Coincidence: “a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection”. Some may view coincidences as momentarily intriguing but ultimately insignificant in our daily lives. Others, however, will see a higher meaning and call it synchronicity. But for others, supposed coincidences are (as put so eloquently by Homer Simpson) “just a bunch of stuff that happened,” and readily dismissed.
Many WorldsAre these coincidences nothing more than mathematical improbabilities bound to occur in an infinite universe, a higher consciousness pushing and prodding us towards the right path … or just a bunch of stuff that happens?
“A little over two years ago a sensational incident took place at Wyong, where a horse took fright and galloped away with a young boy in the sulky behind it,” reported the Richmond River Express and Casino Kyogle Advertiser on 7 November 1928.
“Straight for the railway bridge dashed the terrified animal, and it seemed as though, the boy would be frightfully injured, when a lady on a horse flashed on the scene and, with great danger to herself, reached down and wrenched at the horse’s bit until she stopped the animal just as it was about to rush on to the bridge.”
In appreciation of saving the life of his son, the young boy’s father presented the heroic young lady with a gold medal.
Two years later and the young lady was now in Dubbo in western NSW (over 400 km from the scene of her earlier heroic deeds).
“The other day she was with some friends in a car, when she saw a boy boldly riding his bicycle along the street without his hands on the handles. The obvious happened, the front wheel twisted, and the foolhardy youngster was thrown heavily to the ground. The young lady, who, incidentally, is a nurse, immediately sprang from the car and ran to render first aid to the boy. To her great astonishment, it was the same boy whom she had rescued from the run-away accident two years before.”
