The main character in the American series NCI5, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, has a set of rules that he lives by and passes on to the members of his team. Of course, there are times when he breaks his own rules. Rule #39 is: "There is no such thing as coincidence". Now, this may or may not be true, but what I do know is that we make connections between disparate events depending on what we are interested in or what has caught our attention at any particular time. It then seems coincidence that these events have occurred, when in actual fact it is likely that we have just noticed them because of our current thoughts and circumstances.
