Paranormal
Laws can be created, proven, broken, and debunked. They will always come and go, and be modified, considering the rapid progress that we humans are making in the fields of Science and Mathematics. Indeed, the phrase "The only constant is change." holds true. Almost. There is one law that has remain unchanged since the very beginning of the creation of the cosmos. And believe it or not, you are already aware of it.
You have experienced it, breathed it, and felt it. It is all around you, at all times, and manifests itself at completely random moments in time. And no, it's not the Matrix. It's actually a general rule. One that you can apply anywhere, and everywhere. You feel it when you have the uncontrollable, unstoppable urge to urinate during the most important business meeting of your life. You experience it when your date turns out to be a serial killer. You see it when the bank you're at suddenly gets robbed. You know it's in effect when the T-Shirt you purchased loses its color after just one wash.
"If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong."
This is known as Murphy's Law, and is the most fundamental, basic law of the Universe. It is all you need to explain everything bad that has ever happened to you in your life. In fact, you can use it to explain just about every single occurrence and event that has transpired in our universe.
Let's take a look at some of the example of Murphy's Law in effect: Creation of the Universe. Did the universe really have to be created? Not really. But it did get created. Then there's the creation of planet Earth, which in conjunction with the prevailing atmospheric conditions and chemical composition of the surface at the time, led to the formation of the primordial soup, out of which developed the first life forms, who, over the course of time, evolved and as by-product, created the animals, and us humans. I cannot think of a more fitting example of Murphy's Law than our very existence. You might be thinking, "God created us," but that's not true. The concept of a deity doesn't even figure here, and this article is not to discuss the existence of a supernatural entity. Besides, even if there is a god, who created us, then the creation of the Universe and us humans is one hell of a bad move.
Further, take a look at mosquitoes. Does the mosquito contribute in any way towards the eco system? In upholding the delicate balance of the earth's fragile network of environment, animals and locations? No. All it does is suck blood. Then why, oh why is it here on our planet, in our homes, annoying us, whining into our ears and never letting us sleep? Murphy! Speaking of sucking blood, why do relatives exist? Murphy!
Ever notice how sometimes you are really looking forward to a movie, and at the last moment, some unwanted relatives or guests pop up to meet you? Or you fall for the pretentious hype surrounding the movie, and it dashes your expectations? Sometimes you could be planning something like a trip with friends, and those stupid duds back out at the last minute, ruining all your plans. Sometimes you go to the store, and they're out of stock only on the item which you wanted. Have you ever saved up eagerly for that state-of-the-art computer, with the latest processor, only to read in the news later on, that a faster processor has come out? And all your friends get computers with that processor?
The list could go on. But the point is, Murphy's Law, which I like to personify simply as "Murphy," is the only law taking effect in all the above scenarios, analogous to an anal-retentive lizard defecating over the very fabric of your existence.
Murphy cannot be shown in terms of mathematics, physics or any other representative science for that matter. The reason for this is that the current reach of these sciences exists only within the realms of our three-dimensional existence. And due to this environment, we cannot comprehend anything beyond our perceivable cosmos. I am positive, without a doubt, that the realm of Murphy surpasses all dimensions, universes and planes of existence. If you believe in a god, then Murphy is greater than god. Think of the times when that important file you needed was on some server at the very moment that your Internet connection goes down. Recall, the oh-so-familiar situation, in which something goes wrong with your computer, but when you show it to an expert, everything seems fine. Ever had your internet connection cut off right when the download progress bar reached 99%?
And how about love? Yes, the delusion that so many of us wish to live in, wish to experience. All the good girls are already taken. The nice guys and girls finish last. The best ones die early. You never have enough money. They are never satisfied with you. Don't think for a moment that it's all part of the dating game. Hell, no. It's Mr. Murphy himself, watching over you.
Go to a bus stop. Your bus will never show up, and every other bus in the city shows up. Take a train ride or travel by air. You'll always end up next to the most annoying person, who won't shut up and will wreak of the odor of a decaying whale carcass. Or you'll end up next to an annoying, spoiled little bratty kid who won't stop fidgeting, driving you to the very verge of insanity. You will never end up sitting next to an attractive member of the opposite sex, and if you do, they will have the intellectual capacity of your left sock. Ever worked with tools? Surely you've noticed how the sharpest, heaviest and hardest objects fall on the most delicate equipment lying around.
Everything bad that ever happens to you. Every situation, which makes you think to yourself, "Why me?" THAT my friends, is Murphy's Law. You cannot escape it. You exist because of him, and you will continue to exist in his presence. So the next time some shit happens to you, simply think "Murphy," and rest assured that he is watching over you. But never depend upon a situation where you expect him to watch over you and take effect. Because according to the very definition of Murphy's Law, when you expect Murphy's Law to take effect, it won't! All you can do, is remember, that nobody escapes Murphy's Law.
Not even Murphy himself.
