I am sure most people have heard someone say something like, “If I left my house 2 second earlier I would have got hit by a bus and died”. Well that’s not likely true, once you take in to account the probability factors we all deal with every day, constantly controlling our life, that we have no control over. Lets take the hit by a bus theory.

You start off in one time line by leaving your house 2 seconds earlier then the previous Bus statement. Then you walk down the street and stand at the corner to cross a road, that takes about 2 second of waiting and now already you are back on the same time line and later on you won’t get hit by a bus.

Now lets extend the time period to you leaving your home at a full five minutes earlier, you leave your house wait for 2 seconds to cross the road, walk some more, go get a coffee wait for 3 minutes in the line 1.5 min for your coffee and then sit and drink it, you look at your watch and say, time for me to go. Then you leave. By this point that five minutes you left earlier has all but expired and now you still won’t get hit by the bus. This same idea can be applied to almost any event happing in your chaotic random life.

These days we as people are so tied up in schedules and appointments, do this now, do this later, meet you here at this time. We don’t realize 2 seconds to 20 minutes really doesn’t make much of a difference. How many times have we sat in our car and drove past some old man going half the speed limit and then get stuck at a stop light. Then who roles up next to you? That same hunched over old man peering through the steering wheel that you passed earlier and yes still with his signal flashing. And every light that changes you floor it at the speed of light and every stop light you hit the old man pulls up next to you, still with his signal on.

After we take in to account all these different timed probabilities of life, like getting to work on time, waiting at stop lights, doctors appointments we wait hours for, our fav TV show we must watch or else time will stop. With 2 minutes here 5 minutes there, It’s all kinda same thing every day. The point is, that things that happen do happen for a reason, at least that’s my belief. And next time someone says “If I left my house 2 second earlier I would have got hit by a bus and died” they are more then likely wrong, unless you walk strait out of your house and immediately cross the street without looking (then you disserve to get hit my a bus, Ha not really) yes 2 seconds makes a difference. So take a step back and relax, because when it’s your time to be killed by the bus, then it’s probably your time. And there is nothing you can do about it.

We all get hit by the bus at some point in our lifeline, whether we aren’t looking both ways before the crossing the street, or have someone else’s face stapled over our own and can’t see, then start running into traffic. It’s ok, it’s all meant to be...
