I read all of your post my_wan and I have to admit you make a lot of sense. I agree totally, and not just because it pacifies me but because it really does put things into a rational point of view. Something I am obviously lacking right now.
I would like to comment on the following post you made:
I agree again. But what is interesting, is that Liverpool Football Club has only recently been taken over by new management. In fact, the Red Sox owner, John W. Henry. So we have known for the last couple of months that we were going to have a new chairman 'any time soon'. I guess if I look at it that way, the announcement of a new chairman wasn't that much of a surprise either. The only surprise was the timing of the event. The same day I had the word 'Liverpool' arise in my mind.
Thank you my_wan. Extremely insightful and very helpful.
EDIT: In discussing all this with my daughter, she informed me (and I know she isn't just making it up) of a similar experience. She told me that a boy's name popped into her head this morning. A boy she has not spoken to or heard of in a long time. Later that same day, her friend in college started talking about the same boy.
So it happens I guess. It's what meaning we attribute to these coincidences which is the telling factor.
