Essentially, it is when two events occur simultaneously that may appear to be related, but are simply the result of chance and being in the same place at the same time. As human beings, on our hunt for understanding, it is easy to attach meaning to mere events because they’re stand-out happenings; abnormalities, different than everything else that happens to us throughout the day. The meaning we tie to occasions is not innate to the occasion occurring itself, however; it is the product of our own mind and we can choose to read into the event (or neglect to read into it) as much or as little as we would like.
