Conspiracy, is it

After exactly one month of bidding this place a final(supposedly) farewell and swearing on my life never to come back again, I am back. Judging by my experiences and particularly this one I would like to modify the following quote by Coelho “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” to "Even when you dont want something, all the universe can conspire in thrusting it on you". The 'can' in mine elucidates the scarcity of occurrence of any such event but when it does happen, there is rarely any way out. Every one of us, at some point in our live's, have come across such a situation when we know deep in our conscience that we are going to land up in an unwanted position but we keep praying and hoping that things things might turn otherwise only to realize that they never do. The thought that out of a billion possibilities that we could think of as to how the situation could've been avoided, the only one that did run the correct course was the one which led us straight towards it, does keep us perplexed for a while, at least. If we could think of so many ways out, then why the hell did we get screwed up?! I say because it really does not matter what u decide, not decide, do or not do after you are at the point of hearing the verdict because what you have done has already decided the path. The decision has already been made. If its for you, then you know it and if its against you, then you hope that its for you; the point being, you know. So the conspiracy being mentioned in both the sentences becomes a conditional conspiracy. The factor which decides the condition being true or false is the choice of realization. Some of us do realize the situation well and acquiesce to it while others,mostly, continue to hold with only the assumptions which make them feel better. It is for the latter sorts the result comes as a surprise and the thought of having been victimized sinks in. I would treat the statement by Coelho the same way. If anyone has done his part for achieving a goal then its not the conspiring universe who let him get there, its simply him. If he fails, then either he can blame the universe in failing to come up with a working conspiracy or he can choose to realize the failure and start working again after taking positive lessons from the previous failure. The better the planning , the less the chance of going down. Of courses, there no such thing as error free planning but one can always give be thorough and give attention to the minutest details. Its our understanding of our actions which makes their outcome seem like either a conspiracy or a consequence.
