essica” had been with her husband for 10 years when she had an affair. “I was not looking to be unfaithful,” she began and then paused and looked down at her ringless hands. “I had been out with my husband. He decided to go home early, and I decided to stay out. I met a guy and it just happened. He was so complimentary and sweet, and he made me feel [pausing again], comfortable.”

There were many signs—from the tone of her voice, to the thoughtful way she chose her words, to her mannerisms—that Jessica felt a tremendous amount of guilt. She said she had been going to counseling for several months to resolve her feelings, and when asked if she thought women felt guiltier than men about committing adultery, her answer was heartfelt.

“Sure, with women there is more of a stigma, but I don’t condone having an affair. I wish I hadn’t done it. I am devastated that I had the ability to hurt [my ex-husband] so much… and I am not sure if I’ll ever marry again, because I never want to hurt another person. I am scarred. I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life, even if he is now in a better place.”

This month, as a lark, I was doing as I always do: spit balling topics to see which one bothered Courtney the most.

Ultimately, I wound up firing off the following grapeshot of random subjects: “Baseball Hall of fame inductions? Affleck as Batman? A predetermined universe, or does mankind have free will? Was New Coke really just a conspiracy to introduce HFCS without anyone noticing?”

She could have given us both an easy month and chosen to debate the merits of Batfleck, but instead Courtney decided to go all existential on me and she chose to discuss whether or not we live in a predetermined universe. You know, the usual coffee table fodder. I should have been surprised, but then of course I shouldn’t have, because of course destiny exists.

And what’s more, I can prove it scientifically.

oes everything happen for a reason? Does the universe have a plan? Is the universe God? Is there a God? So many questions, and I lack answers. And that drives me crazy.

I’ve gone on record, in print, at least twice, once in this very C2 column (against my previous foe) arguing that there is no master plan, no higher power pulling the strings, and the only reason things happen is because we (you and I) make them happen.

In fact, I said, “If there is a master plan, why does bad stuff happen to good people? Why do planes crash? Why do mad men rush into schools and shoot children? Why do dogs only live for a dozen years? Why? Why? Why?” I am reminded of the stories of survivors of September 11 attacks. Those who, because something unplanned popped up that morning— he had to run his daughter to daycare; she was stuck in traffic due to an accident; it was his turn to pick-up donuts—were late heading to work at the World Trade Center, and as a result didn’t perish. And how each of these “little things,” was a “blessing” that saved their lives. I have a little trouble with that. It makes me wonder what the other 3,000 people, who did lose their lives, did wrong that day to not be “blessed.”
