So, I've got a question for you all.

Do you believe in fate and destiny? Or is life just a series of chance encounters and coincidences that lack any deeper significance?

Life is striving for that one goal.

Hmmmm. Is that like believing in Santa Claus or the Easter bunny?

I had asked a similar question a while back. I think the best answer is that it's a mixture of both.

Fate is a cruel master.

Hmmm...I'm not so sure if I completely believe it's either of those things...I believe the past has more to do with the way life turns out, if you see where I'm going.

I tend to make my own destiny and I never thought about some unknown something out there having a plan for me...never thought things were all left up to chance either.

You forge your own destiny. You have to go out and find what you want.

...Hmm... Fate exists, but it's hardly a static thing. It's constantly changing, which means that it's something that's virtually impossible to control. The difference between fate and chance is actually pretty small.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2008-08-06 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe you make your own fate. What happens to you is governed by what you do and what choices you make. Certain things might happen to you and force you to make a choice, but in the end those circumstances don't govern your future. You do.

Fate is determined by the strong, boy.

I guess I would but...my life seems too...unfair to be fate.

I just say screw it. If you work hard enough, you'll get what you want.

I wouldn't call it fate, exactly, but the idea that life could just be up to chance is unbelievable to me.

Fate and Destiny are both prospering entities.

Hm... I guess it was fate that I got to see Yoru again! We were meant to be together!

Life stems from the consequences of our actions, not fate nor the machinations of some higher power. A life is solely what you make of it.

Answer unknown and unimportant. One must work to achieve one's goals in either case.
