This doesn’t necessarily mean paranoia or any sort of disorder such as PPD. The most random of people at random times could fall into a trap only set up by the universe. I’m not saying the universe is specifically out to get that person, but this brings me to my next point.
Existentialism, the event in which a universal judgment is often existential; but whether it is so or not it remains categorical, so long as it introduces no hypothetical antecedent about the existence of the thing signified by the subject. In other words, the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will.
The Big Lebowski revealed a more complex plot than you think, the fact that a random guy named Lebowski but goes by the “Dude”. The Dude basically encounters a series of unfortunate events particularly aimed at him. Having the same name as an old millionaire isn’t as cool as one might find. This other Lebowski was doing some shady business with some shady people. Of course, you guessed it, these bad people ended up going after the Dude mistakenly. The universe tends to unfold itself after a certain point. Dude went through a whole lot of shit. At the end of the tough day, Dude makes it out safely. Doesn’t that tell you something?
Sometimes I’ll get a random thought about something completely random. Later on, an event turns up and has something to do with that certain thing I thought about earlier. It could be the universe warning me for what’s ahead or maybe I have superpowers.
