Do you believe in fate... destiny, even just sometimes? Have you ever wondered why something keep happening or is it just coincidence and probability? Tell us what you think about this [img]smile.gif[/img] And your experiences.

definitely. I also believe it can be avoided
I used to dream of my death at the hands of another. When it got closer to the time, I took steps to mak sure that guy did NOT have an issue with me, as well as training so that anyone coming at me with a knife would NOT succeed. Hence these events were avoided and I dreamt of them no more Since then I've felt disconnected a lot of the time, like I've been 'forgotten' for want of a better word |

seems alot of these life searching topic things goin down atm
Personally, I live for the day. I don't see a point to worrying about whether there is or is not fate because if there is then it's gonna happen whether you believe in it or not and if there isn't then you're doing a whole lot of worrying over nothing [img]smile.gif[/img] EDIT: If you think this is hard to read, you should try typing it [img]tongue.gif[/img] [ 05-20-2002, 08:05 AM: Message edited by: Downunda ]

oh I most certainly belive that we all have some form of karma controlling our fate though we also have free will to determine how well in synch the scenarios we experience work out...
Also: we must realize that this is a world we live in composed of many differint structures, cultures, and incidents all happening at every moment, though we as human beings tent to try and tune out everything around us, whether it is good or suffering, by doing so we can get by in life with just ourselves. But when one human should hope to meet, befreind, or well... be WITH another, then of course, fate must play a key role in determining how compatiable they both seem to be toward eachother... In fact, I belive that coincidence is nothing more than a miracle which occurs but where a devine power wishes to go unnoticed...

yes, ofcourse.
i belive there is a good friend or lover for everybody, chosen by "god", that im going to be a millionaire after years, doing absolutely nothing(like batman [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and that when something strange happens/good/bad, happens, "god" just floats between the fluffy clouds of heaven, munches his popcorn and laughs his ass off if you mess something up. i think that today, when i was outside, i felt a wet popcorn piece made by "god"! ow no, it was the bird! bad bird!!

No I don't believe in fate or destiny. I do believe that how we react to situations not of our making can change the outcome positively, or at least add positively to your sum of experiences, which makes me the ultimate eternal optimist LOL.
If I believed in fate I honestly think I would walk round with a frown on my face, believing that whatever happened was meant to happen and I had no control over it. Even when we really don't have any control over much of what happens to us, I believe you can still learn positive things from each of them. Consequently I am pretty much always smiling, and have been described as being 'overconfident' LOL.

Nope, don't believe in it at all, we make our own fate and or destiny.
Any other view smacks too much of an excuse to not accept the "blame" responisbility for our successes and failures for my taste. It is way too easy to just use the excuse that you are a "victim" or fate, destiny, the universe or whatever. Of course this is all opinion and has no more validity than any other opinion. I have a couple of friends who really do believe the universe is out to get them..I have never seen anyone have more "bad luck" than these two...however, I think if they ever got rid of the "personal rain cloud" they carry around and were pro-active instead of reactive they would have a much better time of it.
