Once upon a time before you were born your life had already been planned out for you. Everything about your life was fated to happen, and you my poor innocent puppet have absolutely NO control over how your life develops and how you came to be where you are today. At least that's what you say.
This is the belief of so many people. That fate and destiny are the duo which control every aspect of their lives, and they are but puppets to them. Yes. Go on. Believe that you have no control over your life. That’s what you are saying anyway. Believe that every choice that was yours to make, was already made for you. Believe that your failures were predetermined and unavoidable. Believe that you are but a back boneless pathetic creature who is at the mercy of the duo. Just please; don't be offended when I scoff at you. And also, never say "carpe diem" if you believe in fate...
It is undeniable there are things outside of our control.
But never blame the things that are within your control
on fate or destiny.
It’s a pathetic thing to do.
p.s. if by chance you are Christian and believe that god is the controller of every aspect of your life and that he has planned out each and every decision you will make and made it for you before you come about having to make the decision please consider this. Does god plan for you to go to hell? Or do the choices you make get you there? And if it is the choices (as I’m fairly sure you will agree that it is) does that not mean that god DOES NOT in fact plan out your entire life and the decisions that that entails? And can one not infer that if god doesn't plan out ones life completely that fate only takes you so far? And if that is true does that not mean that fate has no real power over us at all, except to give us the nudge in a certain direction every once in a while (if that)?
