Magnitudes

It's happened again...

Today was a day full of concidences. Perhaps it wasn't just a "it happened again" thing, maybe it was just another day; the other days I simply failed to notice. Let's begin with what I think is really the conclusion to these series of events. Finding out that something you have created and once thought was organic really isn't anymore to me most of the time is the end of the world. I know, full of myself, even pathetic to an extent. But today, the simplicity and the magnitude of today has changed things. It has solidified the notion that we are all connected. Like it or not, good or bad, tangible or not, inevitable or not, etc. etc.

For the longest time there was an oddity and a sense of uniqueness to my AIM sn. A Roaming Badger. Not typically common. But why now? Why did I meet someone else who has something similar to mine? A Floating Cow. It yells out magnitude loud and clear. What is this person's connection to me? I often see this person in the most routine places... bus stop, food places, or just about. Then again, what is anyone's connection to me? Why is it that the less we long for a connection the greater the magnitude of a random encounter is? Is this how the meaning of existence arises?

I think that we are not actually all connected, but all the same. You see, if you look at it from this point of view, we all start out the same person. Maybe we come out a little darker, a little fatter, or a little more blue eyed, but essentially; the same. We then grow -- and with the different experiences that we have we start to form opinions, thoughts, feelings, and things of that nature.
When we form our opinions, we start comparing them to other peoples opinions and other experiences we have to form more certain, or "perfect" (I can't think of the particular word i want to use), opinions.
Sometimes our collected experiences may be similar, or our opinions may be similar, but we can never be the exact same because we all experience different events, at different times, with different mind sets.
If you wan't to see it from that point of view. :]

p.s. It's me, "A-Cal" haha
