Today as I donne my thinking cap once again, I realize I am but a product of chance. It is by chance that I was formed. An egg released in a particular month, fertilized by chance withing the crucial period of 24 hours, and that formed a lump of cells. It is by chance that the organizer of the cells placed my organs in perfect form. And it is by chance that my features were placed in the right symmetry on my face. Human beings are in fact a product of fate. Human creations are in fact works of wonder. It is marvelous how innumerable cells cling together and form a certain shape. Our bodies cannot control the tiny growth within us, no one can for that matter. It is all just chance.
It is by chance how the driver of a car survives while his fellow passengers don't. Can chance be termed as luck? What is the force which controls us and decides the degree of our chance? What are the chances that when I slid off a bike in motion, I only fracture my fingers and not my hand? Birth, marriage, death, chance meeting of individuals, finding one's soulmate through marriage or surviving an accident by a fraction of a second, all this and much more, none of it is under man's control.
Everything that happens to us and around us happens for a reason. And these reasons are governed by a very powerful force. No one knows what this force is. It may be called chance, it may be termed luck, destiny, God's will, coincidence or just about anything. I am a supporter of both the cosmic forces as well as science. But both put together cannot explain why something happens the way it does. Man has indeed made great discoveries and inventions. He has been able to clone, been successful in controlling the time of birth to a certain extent, but he will never be able to master it. Chance or luck is something that will never be controlled. It is therefore chance that makes me what I am today, sitting here thinking the way I am, holding a pen, able to sit upright, able to feel and think, comprehend and realize the importance of my existence, and be thankful that I was given a chance over maybe numerous others to............exist!!!
