The other day I heard a snippet from a song by Annie Lennox. All I heard was a line that went something like: Everything happens for a reason, sung in that beautiful voice of hers.

There is a brain playing tricks, I thought… Finding reason in things that happen around us or to us is like watching TV with the sound off while listening to a music CD…

Or watch a river while listening to music… the waves always makes sense and are synchronous with the music!

Our brain will always find a correlation! That’s what a brain does 24/7 – creating connections, correlations etc… The brain is desperate to create a connection, even if there is none. Even if you know that the Pink Floyd album you are listening to is not at all connected to the visuals on the telly, your brain will still try to make it work… it’s funny really…
