Fooled By Randomness
Is there such a thing as random? or does everything have an underlining reason behind it? even if not obvious to usor ... is the opposite true? is life just a series of random occurances and we just try to explain it when really there is no such thing.
Sometimes I feel people can over-analyze certain things,
I firmly believe not all things have to have a rhyme or reason for occuring.. they just did.
Did I paint my wall blue, as blue represents calm, serenity, and for it is the color of the sea, it links me back to the ocean, to where from our history and evolution began?
No, I just like blue dammit !!

Random is just named so because to other people, it seems random.
Everything you think about is connected in someway to your previous thought and thus cannot be random as it is connected to something else.
Even if I was talking about chairs and you pictured an elephant, it may be random to ME but something about chairs will make YOU think about elephants.
Plus, you know how I feel about the emphasis about randomness, there is tooo much of it as I have told thou before'eth.
