Synchronicity, Karma

I'm not a man of faith, and don't believe in spiritual things.

But I often believe in karma. "What goes around comes around".

I often know of people in my life that have treated me wrong, and then
something equally as bad has happened to them.

OK, I know it sounds like that I think I'm "special" but I don't
necessarily. It's more "different" than "special".

A lot of times my wife and I will say the same things at the same
time. Maybe that's just because we are meme-ing each other?

I also look back at my life and see a lot of situations that seem
unique that happened because I met certain people, and without these
people, things would be different. well that's obvious. I mean, things
might not be as special as they appear to be now. But then again, if i
met different people maybe I would feel the same in that situation as
I do now.

Anyway.. are "Synchronicity" & "karma" merely imagined or created by
our minds to simplify things or help us understand things and that
sync.. & karma don't really exist (which i often believe). I'm on the
fence about these.

Learn a new and unfamiliar word. Suddenly you 'start' to hear it used a
lot.

Still, 'imagined or created' may not be the best description.

for instance:

This happens between friends, even two people who have spent a lot of
time together who are not friends. Like a co-worker who you do not like
all that much but when the job kicks in you both work 'as if' you know
what the other is thinking.

Maybe this type of synchronicity is part of a practiced response.
