Signs and Questions - Chris Cree

Last night I was feeling pretty zombified and didn’t have enough brain power left to do much of anything productive so I poked around what had been recorded on TIVO and found Signs. I’d seen it before, so I figured it was a good choice because I could turn it off and catch the end some other time.

In the movie the Mel Gibson character has a speech where he says people basically fall into two categories. There are those who believe that someone’s watching out for them arranging miracles in their lives, which gives them hope. And then there are those who believe that they are completely on their own, anything good that happens is just pure luck. He ended his speech with a series of questions

See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

Those are good questions. How would you answer them?
