It's that whole fate versus free-will argument again. Here's a nice compromise: They both play extremely important roles, but you have a much bigger say in creating your own reality than you previously believed.
points to ponder...
i'll have to expand on that thought process...but not right at this particular moment...
cuz its the kind of thing where i need a lil solitude...n ya cant get that with rugrats sitting at the table with ya.
*nod*
-----------------------------------------
*edit*
hmmmm creating my own reality eh?
this is not the matrix.
things are what they are.
you can only alter your perception on them...
it doesnt change what they are.
*sings the facts of life*
im not sure i buy the whole 'fate/destiny' saga.
im more into...universal truths.
ive never believed 'things happen for a reason'
ive always believed its the biggest cop-out of humanity to spout lines of bullshit like that to attemp to make other people 'feel better'
reality it...sometimes things happen in which we have no control.
they simply...'are'
no.
it doesnt make you feel better...but at least its the truth and not some bullshit cliche.
the whole fate vs free will debate is prolly timeless and much like gun control will be something the masses never completely agree upon.
im ok with that.
i figure...the 'idea' of fate cancels out the 'idea' of free-will.
why?
cuz if something is predetermined than i really didnt have a choice in the matter in the first place now did i? and if i didnt have a choice in the matter than where exactly is the 'free-will'?
*plays jeopardy music*
ya thats what i thought.
i'll take the universal truths for 500 alex.
why?
cuz while i dun always understand exactly where the universe is heading...and i dun always agree with 'nature taking its course'
sometimes things just are what they are.
and instead of balking and fighting...its more like...sitting back with a bag of popcorn...watching the show.
i view it as...putting my life in someone elses hands.
letting them row the boat for awhile...cuz im tired.
cuz i always manage in some...way, shape or form to crap things up...
maybe the universe can do a better job of it.
at least in theory anyway.
i hate the idea of 'fate'
i hate the ideaa of 'destiny'
they...being the same thing...can eat me.
im not interested.
*nod*
and no.
im not inerested in other points of view.
im not interested in changing my viewpoints either.
they're mine.
you have your own.
lets keep it that way.
suvate.
