    Wonder about the natural world is nice, but I’ve definitely seen people take it too far. One comment on here talked about how they saw miracles every day. Like they were hungry and found $20 in their jacket pocket. Or they were cold and the sun came out.

    That’s not a miracle. It’s just coincidence. You can’t say that everything is meaningful or nothing is.

      I probably wouldn’t judge them for that outright… it’s a cruel world and if feeling happy about minor convenient coincidences helps them get through it, then good for them.

      Though if they’re really overbearing about it in that toxic positivity sort of way, I’m sure they’d be super insufferable to be around.
