Here's a question for ya? Do you believe in Fate? I must admit i'm a little split on the issue. Although sometimes I hate to believe my life is already decided for me, sometimes it sure feels that way. What does everyone else think?

I've had too many coincidences or deja vus in my life not to believe there's some sort of pattern, but I don't necessarily believe that it rules one's life. I guess I believe there's a pattern, and some small part of our brain senses it so that sometimes we flow quite strangely into the pattern, and sometimes we don't follow the pattern at all.
You remember the movie "Six Degrees" or "Six Degrees of Separation"? (Will Smith, Stockard Channing) I don't entirely think I agree, but... it's got a point. |

I definitely believe in fate. We chart our life before we come here. Of course, that doesn't mean those things are in stone. You do have plenty of options here on earth.

Er.... NO!
Lots and lots of things influence our lives - genes, parenting, external events, things we read, things we do, things we experience, decisions we make... There are things we have no control over, things we have SOME control over, things we control... But none of these things is Fate, if, by Fate, you mean that your life is planned out for you in advance and there is nothing you can do about it. If that were the case, then you never need bother how you cross a road, for example, 'cos if you are not 'fated' to die/get hurt, you won't, no matter how much traffic there is, lol! Now, I know some of you will think I'm being facetious (sp), but I am actually making a serious point. Fate or no, we TAKE CARE on the roads!  ------------------

The story of the bug in the rug...
There is this miniscule bug see, and he lives his entire life in a persian rug. All the while going about his business and never knowing that he lived and died in this rug, this beautifully crafted thing. Never once knew that he lived and died in something that had a pattern. |

I could't agree more with Fljotsdale on this one, especially on the pont of genetics, in any case I certainly dont believe in fate, and think we control our own destiny, otherwise what would be the point !

As a freaking Scientist
I made a nice theorie We can calculate the way we do thing and the way other people react to it thus we can see into the future and know what is gonna happen why don't we? well we now don't have the ability to exame brains to see how they will react to what And well to calculate one second (coz you have got to calculate everysecond to make it work) we need years and years to calculate and thus it would be easier to see what jjust happens  but no i think the there is no faith nothing was meant to be The life is a clutch of Accidents but is that such a bad thing? ------------------ Now Imagine this Signature Only in Red.

Depends on what you mean and how you define fate. I think most people has their own twist of it. To some parts I believe in it, like a general twisst of events that os more or less a factor of the unknown and that which we can´t see and understand, and in everyday dy life.. Acts and deads make "fate" so it is also a byproduct of what do do daily.. So well. Believe in it, depends on what you put to it and what you put in to it.
