Sliding doors all around us

The movie sliding doors, is about young woman (spoiler) named Helen that comes home early here life will go in one direction, if she will not come home early, here life will go on another way.

The splitting point between the to ways is due to the sliding door of the London sub way, in course of life she is quick enough to aboard a London subway train before the sliding doors close. On the other course of life she is not quick enough and do not come hoe early. When she comes home early, she discoverer that here boyfriend cheats on here, and here life develops to an expected direction. In the other course she dos not know about the cheats of here boy friend and things go on as expected.

Besides being a very interesting cinematic experiment, the task of manifesting such an idea is an achievement of its own. The audience is practically need to follow to parallel plots that are not directly connected, but compartments between the tow are the major them of the movie.

The movie sharpens the fact that our life are made of bundles of random events, each events has its own impact on our life, some have no impact, wile others has huge impact, such as the sliding door on Helen's life.

In the Buddhism faith I is believed that the reality and we are created  again and again every moment and moment. The creation product is naturally depends on the events around us that, these events can be random or not, but I the bottom line they are all have an impact on what we will be created (us).

The question then rises; do we have a control on the events around us that make who we are in the future? Cane we focus on the events that will yield a better us in the future, rather than those who lead to worse?
You don not have to adopt Buddhism in order to see the logic in this question. If a person chooses to look only on the full half part of the glass, will it resolute in a better life? Will this better life will be really better or only in the optimistic mind it will be better? And how can we know if random event such as Helen's sliding door can have such a huge affect on our life?

In quantum physics there is a theory named MWI that stands for Many World Interpretation. According to this theory, in each interaction of particles, the future of the particles splits to some realities according to the probability of the wave function.

This MWI theory reminds us the Buddhism faith… but believe me that there are many respectable physicists that truly believe that the reality splits to many alternatively realties in each interaction of particles. In this senses we are all surrounded in sliding doors.
