There are two kinds of people….
Yeah I just went there despite the fact that it made me roll my eyes and chuckle.
How about if I reword it slightly. There are those who believe that the universe [or fate or a deity] is actually is taking care of you, that things happen for a reason. They tend to talk about things like karma, the power of grace and prayer, the Law of Attraction, and positive energy or thinking.
And then there are those who believe the universe doesn’t “care” one way or the other because you are too insignificant to even register and things just happen.
I bounce between but oh how I wistfully yearn to believe that there is a grand design and I have a purpose within it! I’m not sure if that makes me narcissistic or not….
These are not comfortable thoughts....
