Serendipity..........

Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.

What will happen in the future and what path your life will take is all up to serendipity, fate and coincidences. A couple of days ago I watched the movie “Sliding Doors” with Gwyneth Palthrow as lead actress. This movie is divided into two stories. The first one is about when she manages to catch the subway on time and manages to come early which results in catching her husband in bed with another lady. That story continues with her life after being cheated. The other story starts in the same way as the first one, she is trying to catch the subway but in this one she misses it by a second or two and when she comes home her husband’s mistress has left the building so she doesn´t know what had happen. The story continues with her life, where she at the time doesn´t know that she´s been cheated at. The plot of the movie is that it takes just a second to completely change your life and the path of your future.

This is a very interesting movie and it really makes you think. Just a second of your life can change your future entirely. Like in this movie, she was just a second away when she missed the subway and it change her whole life and her future took another direction. I think that this is why it´s so hard to predict the future, especially if your going to predict your own personal future. It´s easier to predict trends with this I don´t mean that it´s easy to predict trends I just mean that it´s easier than predicting your own personal future. I think the problem is still the same, I doesn´t matter if we are predicting our personal future or a big trend, what lies in the future is like I said before all up to serendipity, fate and coincidences.

That´s all from my thoughts from the movie “Sliding Doors”!

Ps, I can strongly recommend the movie!
