A Paradox

Random, what is, and what could not have been.

In life, there is no such thing as random. Everything is the way it is, just because it is. Many times we look and ponder on what could have been, what we should have done instead. We believe that we make a choice. We believe we do things because we choose to, because we ordain to. But in reality, everything that is could not have been any other way. Nothing could have happened any other way.

Random is not random. Though we do choose, we choose the choice that is meant to be. The other choice was not meant to be. We can picture the other choice happening or what could have happened, but in reality there is no possibility of it happening. Everything that is, is. And everything that will be, will be. Just the way it was meant to be.

Genes have made us up mostly. Now the brain controls the rest. It’s interesting how we think that someone has a choice whether to jump off a diving board, or not to. But really, the genes have already made the decision long ago. Though it is pleasing to feel like we have a legitimate choice, we do not, actually. Everything that is, is there for a specific reason, a specific time, a specific place, and etc.

Physicists and mathematicians are just now realizing that the world is in no way random. If random existed then any tiny malfunction in the world would only create a much grander malfunction, and thus destroy itself. This ‘random’ functions could happen any millisecond. But they don’t. Because everything is in such a particular, perfect order. And if just one thing would to break apart, or one molecule go out of order, then the whole system would fail.

Love is also only one way. (In my opinion, I believe there is only one love, one true love. Though in our society it is typical to divorce and remarry, I stick to the idea that love, true love, is only once.) Potentially, there are many options in the world. Potentially you could pick any girl and it will work. Out of three girls that you like, whichever one you pick, (it could potentially be any of them,) is the one meant for you. Look, it could've been any of them, but there is only one that will be. The one that will be, is the one that you will choose. Though you could've chose any of them, you particularly chose the one, and there could've been no other way. Who you will love, you will love. No matter what.

We do not control a single moment of our lives, yet we do. Everything that we choose is what would have happened, there is no alter way. Yet, what we choose is what was meant to be. It is much more complicated, more intricate than the way I have written it as, but that is so. What could have happened and what could not have happened has not, because there is just one way.
