Why do our brains so fight against the improbable? It would be improbable to assume there is no improbable.

Ever seen Tomb Raider?
I haven't, it wasn't until After this happened to me that I found out it was pretty much a scene straight out of the movie. Funny. It was shot close to Angkor Wat at these temples that I actually got to visit. In the movie I guess Jolie is attracted by fauna, butterflies, and a child to this secret entrance. Well, same thing happened to me. I was following these butterflies and drawn in by the beauty of the flora when this little boy popped up and led me to an entirely different and barred off area of the temples. It was So magical, he was Cambodian so we didn't speak and was like 4 feet high, but he was clearly luring me in... I happily followed. We scrambled in a forbidden area over all these broken rocks and caved in sections until lo and behold we came upon a scorpion! He laughed at my terror, it was huge and black (which apparently= harmless... it's the small white ones you have to look out for), he simply stabbed its' stinger so it was rendered defenseless. Then picked it up with this smart aleck look, by the tail, and threw it against the wall as if it was an orange peel. All of a sudden he seemed 6.4, my hero. He could read it in my body language, so the game continued... ... There were a few other synchronicities between my time and the movie. Magical. What also made it so was this feeling, there really was something to that place. Maybe it was the majesty of nature totally overtaking prideful man's attempt to build a fortress in the middle of their turf. The trees just devastated these structures, So lovely.
