What about that other reality where he wasn’t rejected?

"Yet few realize he also pursued a career in painting." 

I think their definition of few is not the same as mine.

I don't exist in that reality. My gandfather was an American soldier in WWII when he met my Hungarian grandmother in a labor camp in  Eastern Europe.

I semi-joke that I owe my life to Hitler.

My children owe their existence to two people moving far from home, a chance encounter in a swimming pool, specific gametes meeting, hospital doctors and care and our (my wife and I) delusions of their beauty, (otherwise we might have drowned them at birth). :-)

And EVERYTHING which occurred previously. 

The big things are easy to recognize, its the little things which confound me. What is the smallest thing to make me what I am and what was the chance of it occurring? What about you? What about Hitler?

A girl I dated at ACA asked if I believed in Fate. I said no. It was just too overwhelming a prospect that the whole universe had conspired to create a sequence of events that led to she and I meeting.

It’s all coincidence, and only that if we are looking at it from inside.
