Fate? To a certain extent, perhaps... but I also believe in free will, and we can capriciously change our fate with a choice. I think our fate may be destined if we follow a path, but we can always change the path, and thus, our fate.
But then again... looking ahead is never easy.

Defender for the Light -
Goodness knows there is a lot of Dark out there!! - Where are my matches?!?
Wandering Soul - Finding my life's calling is Bodhisattva
Looking for lost brain - I left it only for a moment....and there it goes... rolling under the table!!
Noticing that the Light has gotten further down a Dark Tunnel than expected... Time to get the Lantern... Knowing sooner or later - I will get to the End of this Tunnel to the Open Air once again...
