       | 
       | First, everything is serendipity simply because there are just
       | too many variables to solve for the equation of life. Serendipity
       | is bound to happen and it is more common than one thinks.
       | 
       | Second, everything is planned even though there are so many
       | variables involved because implicitly by the sum total of our
       | actions, we knowingly or unknowingly fill those variables with
       | known values and so what we think as a serendipitous experience
       | is actually a planned experience that we unknowingly planned by
       | the sum total of our actions until that point.
       | 
       | I like the first theory because it has an element of mysticism to
       | it.
