It is believed that “a coincidence itself is in the eye of the beholder.” Thus, if a rare and surprising event happens somewhere in a remote area, far away from sight, where no one notices or cares about it, then it’s not really a coincidence. So what’s amazing and impressive is not that these things actually occur, but that we perceive and become aware of them.
