Do you think Coincidences really exist in life?

I love reading mangas (Japanese comics). I especially like mangas by CLAMP.
In many of CLAMP mangas, they talk about hitsuzen. There's no direct translation for hitzusen. It has a similar meaning to 'Inevitability'.
The mangas revolve around one theme, 'There is no such thing as Coincidence, there is only hitsuzen (Inevitability)'.
I personally agree with this. I agree that things only happen for a reason. The people we meet, the things that happen to us, the situations we face are all for a reason. It will impact us somehow in our lives in the future.
What do you think?

I don't believe in chance or coincidence.
Everyone we meet plays a key role in our lives
if only for a few moments.
Maybe a random stranger will impart crucial wisdom
or lend a hand when we are in need.
Is it random chance to meet such a person
in your hour of need?
Me thinks, not! Be well.
have a wonderous day.

In chinese, it is call fate.
The believe of cause and effect, action and reaction, deed and consequences has always been a strong belief in many of the asian religions.
In fact, it is what I believe too. When you do something today, the result is already sort of pre-determined. It is a matter of time when the consequence of that action you do befall upon you.
But because we are constantly living our life, our subsequent actions may or may not negate that consequence of an earlier action.
It is something like adding sugar to a cup of water. If you change the action, and add more water instead, the end result of the drink when you consume it, will be different.
Interesting isn't it? We could write so many examples, it could go on and on and on....

I also do think that there are no concidences in life.. It's either u have it or u dun have it.. It's just so simple..
Wat's meant to be yours will always be yours no matter how ple try to take it away from u..
ANd When it's not meant to be yours, no matter how hard u try to keep it, it will still be gone one day..
So is that concidence?? I dun think so.. It's just an excuse came out by humans just to make them feel better when things come expectedly, especially bad things..
