every single second of one's life is an experience... and no two people have the same life.. therefore nobody see's the world, the universe, life, beliefs as someone else see's it... those things makeup your own universe.. and everyone lives in their own universe.. its created when you are born, and extinct when you die.. your universe, in my opinion, is controlled by both you and coincidence... neither dominate the other, you make the choices that coincidence may or may not have thrown in front of you, and coincidence happens from your choices... that is what i believe, some believe a higher power throws everything in front of you and there are no coincidences... everything is meant to be, so to speak.. if that were the case, in my humble opinion, there would be no suffering, and there's plenty of that :sad:
