I believe in karma. why put punctuate things of virtue when they are all points of virtue? There may be one streaming virtue that could take us hundreds of years to map one tiny moment. I believe karma is the same principle which qauntum physicists have worked so hard to become stumped on. Thus almost everything in the world affects other things through various dynamics in motion.
indeed how the butterfly in new york beating its wings agitates the right molecule which chain reacts the condensation and initiates the downpour of rain.
They said if we could have a 100% accurate picture of the universe of every molecule in space at any one specific time we could map all time forward from there.
karma works in the same ways.
but its the applied philosophy as such and believes what you do will affect not only your conscience but what you shall recieve, not only in what you do, but how you do, not only in how you do, but how well. It rides on morality and not the perfection required of the cold sciences. This is inherent the beauty is that its your choice. and even Einstein was stumped and dumbfounded that there just MAY BE some sort of a system but that God is the one rolling the dice. and his method is hidden in the untraceable placement in the particles of atoms, black holes and such. The system by design is untraceable. and thus I believe no man is to scapegoat his fate to another. That just might be the will of the designer of the universe. otherwise what would be the point of having it into existence at all if it was not left to its own whim to marvel at?
some ancient taoists said there are over 133,000 demigods in the body at birth (I know, leave it to the chineese to come up with some kooky number like that) but as we move forward in life these Gods flee us out of disgust and disenfranchise us from devine virtue compeletely...thus we are mortal.
though some of our notions of divinity have fled we are each inherently good for knowing that loss and should prevent to sacrifice for more space of demons upon us.

Moral, social and reciprocal responsiblity do play some small role in an individual's fate but the major factor is a persons own self determination. You alone are the only one who can decide wether or not to pull the trigger of a gun and thus determine wether or not your fate is to spend the rest of your life in jail for example. Every decision a person makes determines what happens in the future to a greater or lesser degree.

The choices a person makes. It's as simple as that. If we make the correct choices, we wouldn't have start over so many times. If we made the right choices ( and these are choices for the good) life would be a "little" easier. I say this to say, there will always be struggles in our lives here on earth, but by making the right choices, we deal with these struggles wisely and move on with our lives. Therefore our fate is unfolded based on the decisions we make. Sure some of us are not as fortunate as other, but always remember..."you make in life the exact reproduction of the your own thoughts". So, in actuality, it is up to us, not others where we will go in life and this is all based on our faith and belief that all things are possible and all things can be changed if you only believe. Now remember when you see the truly misfortuned, displaced and down trotten, and you wonder why this exists, I have come know that we are not to understand all things in this world. We can only pray for those who have given up hope or for those who are truly abandoned by the society in which they live. But for a person with a sound mind and strong belief system, once again, all things are possible if you only believe, have faith and make wise choices. And most important of all, your actions and thoughts must be for the good of man kind.

Succinctly, it's summed up in the word karma. That includes self determination and all responsibilities. It's simple cause and effect. It's presenting us with learning experiences. Ultimately we determine our fate through our previous actions and choices and through our present course of working through life lessons. The more responsibility we accept for our choices as individuals and as a race, the more liberation we'll discover through the process.

Everything.
It is our great fortune as sentinent human beings to affect and be effected by each and every one of our interactions with other human beings and the world around us . No belief system, no scientific theory, no series of pragmatic rationales will ever detract from one empirical truth.
We are the product of ourselves.
The path our life takes and our retrospective evaluation of the hand that fate dealt us is always open to question but, ultimately, will be a function of our own actions as part of an ongoing aggregation of all the other interactions around us.

Though fate is the power believed to control all events in a way that cannot be restricted (destiny), it is determined by Self determination -will-

That depends on the individual. It would not be the same for each of us. the ultimate fate is death. We all will die one day, some younger than others. No there is no god or any other such creature that has anything to do with it.

destiny on your early age of innocence is determined through your instantaneous environment, situations on your community and infrequently through what's happening global. Then once you come back to age of reason and understanding, it really is both you keen to examine being in that similar situations, circumstance and challenge or opt for to get out and search for for what would change your destiny. Your destiny now must be in reality determined through your alternatives in existence no matter if it is going hostile to the traditional style or going hostile to it to make the distinction.
