When Love Feels Like Magic, It's called Destiny. When Destiny Has A Sense of Humor, It's Called Serendipity.

Ur Wikipedia:

Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. The word derives from an old Persian fairy tale and was coined by Horace Walpole on 28 January 1754 in a letter he wrote to his friend Horace Mann (not the same man as the famed American educator), an Englishman then living in Florence. The letter read,

"It was once when I read a silly fairy tale, called The Three Princes of Serendip: as their highnesses travelled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of: for instance, one of them discovered that a mule blind of the right eye had travelled the same road lately, because the grass was eaten only on the left side, where it was worse than on the right—now do you understand serendipity? One of the most remarkable instances of this accidental sagacity (for you must observe that no discovery of a thing you are looking for, comes under this description) was of my Lord Shaftsbury, who happening to dine at Lord Chancellor Clarendon's, found out the marriage of the Duke of York and Mrs. Hyde, by the respect with which her mother treated her at table.

Jag har bestämt mig för att spira genuan i lovart och sätta en preventer guy på storen...och segla baklänges genom livet lite oftare. Jag har märkt att man kan säga nästan vilka obegripligheter som helst utan att folk synar. Jag har t.ex sagt att...

En (jovialisk dansk) ansvarig på Facebook sitter i Uppdrag Granskning och förklarar leende policyn för näthot med att det beror på om hotaren menar det eller inte. I Köttvärlden behöver man inte bevisa uppsåt om man t.ex. kommer med hot om våld eller...
