is there such a thing as fate and destiny?

Question

I try to belive that somehow fate or destiny has brought me to the place that I am today, do you belive that there's a reason everything happens?

Answer 1

Fate are the cards your dealt, destiny is how you play the hand.

Answer 2

No I do believe in fate or destiny. With all the millions of people on this planet, living their lives out, all of their so called destinies and fates cross and mix together. I do not believe anything is written in stone, fate is what you make of it. Sure it can be influenced by outside sources that cross over in your life. It is those decisions you make that determine the course of your life.

There is no tablets, or books with each of our lives pre-written out from birth to death. We make our own choices and often we do not end up doing the things we dreamed of as a child. Only the rare few ever have that privilege of living their life's dream.

Each decision made by an individual ripples like a pebble thrown into a pond, toss another pebble and now two ripples and they may cross over. So from a scientific standpoint and plain logic, there is no pre written fate or destinies for any of us. We make the lives we want or are influenced by those around us by the life we may live and do not want.

It was more likely your desire, hard work and ability to not give up on what ever place you have been brought to you feel is fate. It was YOUR choices combined with the choices of others that decided your outcome, one small change from someone or yourself and you could have been some where else.

Answer 3

Yes surely, cause sometimes you try and work hard for a thing but you dont get it right, but sometimes you do not think of it and a good news comes to u that is fate and destiny

Answer 4

Absolutely: everything does happen for a reason; however we can't always understand the reason of every single thing that happens. I believe in Fate, I believe that our life is like a musical pentagram, with only the 2 main tunes written on it : birth and death; Fate provides us with the arrangement according to the tunes we choose, it's up to us, in facts, to compose the music; but we have only those seven tunes and their semi-tunes that represent events meant to happen in our lives; choosing a tune rather than another, to delay or anticipate an event meant to happen, and to a different arrangement, but that arrangement is not casual, is set by Fate, instead, according to our choices. We're given the power to choose, and Fate makes things happen the way they're meant to, rearranging our music and tunes according to that.

your current position (down to where you are sitting right now) is the sum of your starting place in life plus and minus all of your experiences. simple as that

Answer 7

Yes There is something called Fate and/or destiny and according to that only every good and bad things are happening in one's life. I am a strong beliver of fate.

Destiny refers to a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe.

Destiny may be envisaged as fore-ordained by the Divine (for example, the Protestant concept of predestination) or by human will (for example, the American concept of Manifest Destiny).

A sense of destiny in its oldest human sense is in the soldier's fatalistic image of the "bullet that has your name on it" or the moment when your number "comes up," or a romance that was "meant to be." The human sense that there must be a hidden purpose in the random lottery governs the selection of Theseus to be among the youths to be sacrificed to the Minotaur. Many Greek legends and tales teach the futility of trying to outmaneuver an inexorable fate that has been correctly predicted.

Many people believe destiny is a fixed timeline of events that is inevitable and unchangeable.

Others believe that they choose their own destiny by choosing different paths throughout their life.
Destiny is regarded by some as fate, a fixed timeline of events that is inevitable and unchangeable, and the future knowable through means of divination. This has led to an assumption of divination as fortune-telling, though the actual practice accounts for the self-determination of individual people and an unknowable future. In divination, destiny takes on a meaning different from its common usage.

Although the words are used interchangeably, fate and destiny are distinct things. Modern usage defines fate as a power or agency that predetermines and orders the course of events. The definition of fate has it that events are ordered or "meant to be". Fate is used in regard to the finality of events as they have worked themselves out, and that same finality is projected into the future to become the inevitability of events as they will work themselves out. Fate also has a morbid association with finality in the form of "fatality". Destiny, or fate, used in the past tense is "one's lot" and includes the sum of events leading up to a currently achieved outcome (e.g. "it was her destiny to be leader", "it was his fate to be executed"). Fate is an outcome determined by an outside agency acting upon a person or entity; but with destiny the entity is participating in achieving an outcome that is directly related to itself. Participation happens wilfully-.

Answer 8

Nothing is pre-determined. Your choices and actions have brought you where you are today, plus random events and circumstances you had no control over. Life is a series of chance occurrences. It's what you do in response to these occurrences that determines your destiny.

Answer 9

Fate and Destiny are a couple of strippers who work at Baby Dolls in Dallas Texas.
They usually work the weekends with Karma, London, Porche, Candy and Domino.

Answer 10

Yes - all our lives (not the details) are written.

This is how mystics get their information. They are able to tap into this reservoir of knowledge where life has already been played out.

I am happy that I don;t know that is coming tomorrow - if I did, life would be boring because I know that there would be little I could do to change it.

At least I have the illusion that my life has some meaning.
