Now, I don't have a fancy paid journal, so I can't make cute little polls, but I have a couple questions (more or less) that I'd like everyone to answer....

1. Do you believe in fate?

2. Do you believe in soulmates?

Please explain and elaborate as much as you'd like.

i don't quite know. i believe in chemistry and i believe in karma, but not fate and not soulmates. i'm a stern believer in the fact that you create your own reality. what you put out there will be recompensed. people believe in fate because they want to think that everything happens to a purpose. and it eventually does. every decision becomes the right decision after enough time. we use the few moments of absolute happiness in our lives to validate the ones that sucked the life out of us. soulmates are nothing but two people ready and willing to love. but in the general sense, we give to some form of reservation. and this manifests in the bonds between people and gives them a subconcious feeling of mistrust. and mistrust will ruin any relationship. a fuck up can only be a fuck up if viewed as such. otherwise, it is a stepping stone, a lesson learned. i give to my gut generally because it's smarter than i am. it reacts on instinct, and instinct is derived by forces unnoticed, but present. if you feel scared, it's because you've been given reason. people consider too much in their dealings with life. all that is there to decide and divine is in the present. fate is inconsequential. if it exists, as with religion, then it's only plight is to recognize purpose within the universe. and purpose itself implies that everything is ruled by this device. by simple definition, even this petty existance of its own must hold relavent meaning--and to mettle in the anything other than right here and right now is to introduce a force that doesn't exist. if god is here, he isn't relavent. i've found that by assuming responsibility for my psychology, i create happiness simply by assuming a mindset ready to live. every tragedy costs the amount of its creation. and everyone feels an ultimate emptiness or absolute trauma by their own design. death and debt can impude identically if they are the absolution of your pain. there is nothing neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so. and this answer was obviously far more existential than it needed to be.
