A Fine Example of Synchronicity... and something more...
We are in the subreddit of synchronicities taking a look at an experience one OP shared with us all on Reddit. We take a look at why it is a synchronicistic event but also, what the synchronicity could mean about the OP and their message regarding the event. Here's the post from r/synchronicities:
15 minutes of pure synchronicity I had a pretty fun experience an hour ago.
A friend of mine is sick so I asked him if I should bring him some fever meds. He agreed and asked for a bottle of ice tea, since I'm already dropping by. He lives a ten minute walk from my place, so no biggy. Before I leave I pack a lighter to smoke a cigarette on my way there - I only take a single cigarette with me, since it's a short walk. I already have a lighter in my jacket but still took a second one without thinking about it (something that never happens). Omw I light my cigarette, when a guy approaches me asking for a lighter (another thing that never happenes) , which, since I had two, I gave him one to keep. He was really happy and insisted on giving me a cigarette as compensation, which I accept after some hesitation. Next stop, the bakery, which opens on Sundays and sells ice tea. I go in, get my bottle and on my way out the cashier ask me if I smoked by any chance (a third thing that never happenes). I said yes and she asked if I had a cig for her. I had to laugh at that point, since I wouldn't have had one if I didn't just swap my lighter. All of that happen in about 15 minutes. None of that would have happened if I didn't get the urge to take a second lighter with me - an action that I thought was useless at the time. I know, not that impressive, but still it made me laugh. Synchronicies happen, all the time but usually I experience them in a way more subtle form.
