Numbers are constant. Until theyre not. Our inability to influence outcome is the great equalizer. Makes the world fair. Computers generate random numbers in an attempt to glean meaning out of probability. Endless numerical sequences, lacking any pattern. During cataclysmic global events... tsunami, earthquake, political crisis, the attacks on the North Eastern part of Nigeria... these random numbers suddenly stop being random. As our collective consciousness synchronizes, so do the numbers. Science cant explain the phenomenon, but religion does. Its called prayer. A collective request, sent up in unison. A shared hope. When we pray for Nigeria, we pray for our family, our children, our siblings and ourself. In times of tragedy... times of collective joy, in these brief moments, it is only the shared emotional experience that makes the world seem less random. Maybe its coincidence. And maybe its the answer to our prayers.
