I'm one of those annoyingly early people...being late is a big pet peeve of mine

You've questions/expressed several trains of thought...
[quote]If you're early, you won't be late

At this stage of life, being early just isn't naturally going to happen. Minus the naturally. 🤭
[quote]Also, things that happen...have happened
Is it random or accidental when it's actually happened?[/quote]
Who knows. Depends on what they were. I know when it comes to the major happening (s) in my life, they've brought despair, but created a more grateful heart.💜
[quote]This world is in a chaotic loop that's frustrating everyone
Am I right?[/quote]
Hell yes and this is why we should be easier with each other. I haven't always followed my own advice there, but I do try harder next time when I've recognized it.

I usually cut it too close to ‘on time’ for my liking. I’d be better if I operated with the intention of being early, so it wasn’t stressful at all.
I don’t mind when people are late some of the time if they let me know they’re going to be late, but chronically late people drive me nuts. It’s so disrespectful and self involved.
I don’t really believe in things randomly happening. It’s that I don’t have omnipotence to fully understand the causation that led up to it, so it feels random. Even when I think I understand I’m sure there are plenty of times I mistaken, or only seeing a small piece to it. Either way, I try to live in such a way that is contemplative of potential outcomes, so I can kind of prepare and weigh my decisions. I notice less seeming randomness comes up for me to deal with.

Exactly - my motto is "If you aren't 15 minutes early, you are a half hour late."
