Spooky Twists of Fate or Something More?

Maybe so many people have lived lives that we run out of "life stories"...so some stories have to repeat themselves. Maybe "life stories" or cirstances are hanging around out there in space and get attached to us when we're not doing something else with our lives. I just think with so many people over so many centuries...some life stories are bound to overlap or be the same. Of course, there haven't been that many presidents. Maybe when you become president (or something in a high position) you walk into a kind of life that has already been chosen...for whoever fills that position. In other words...I have no idea if these two happenings are coincidence or fate.
