Certainty
The situation where events unfold in a way that fulfills a relatively small probability has been a source of fascination lately. Given common sense, we are usually able to deduce the likely from the unlikely. Given sufficient information, we can even conjure plausible predictions. What are the chances of the impossible happening then? What if when you flip a coin its neither heads nor tails? Is a negligible probability equivalent to zero probability?
Rhetorics aside, I admit that I kinda enjoy factoring in this minute uncertainty in daily life. Though it can be really unrealistic and foolish, I secretly wish for the improbable to happen everyday, be it good or bad.
All too often we tell ourselves "that is quite impossible" but once things happen otherwise, we'd just quietly analyse the causation and realise how inevitable some things can be. Whilst we live our life thinking that we have complete control over decisions and outcomes, the path we thread may just lead to a place we least expect ourselves to be.
