It's interesting, makes you think.
But it's right. Everything has a purpose, and it will happen.

If we observe closely, there seems to be an inherent intelligence in matter as it has organized and evolved into the universe as we know it in a little over 13 billion years which has organized and evolved a planet like our earth in a little over 4.5 billion years which has organized and evolved us in about 4.7 million years. So far, nothing has interfered with this process. We could say this inherent intelligence in matter is unfolding as it should. The question is what's this intelligence for? Why has it unfolded at this time and what are we supposed to do with it?

There is a balance between worry and apathy. The statement seems to refer to pre-determined destiny.
The Bible says: "Be anxious for nothing." In other words don't worry about anything - good advice as worry doesn't produce anything positive or productive.
At the same time apathy is a flippant attitude which results in living with conditions which we can and should change around us. For example: Voting, washing the car or going to work on time each day.
Find balance - be at peace with the things you cannot change, and at the same time, work hard and change the things you can. Predestination and free will work hand in hand - they are not a contradiction.

not quite true... there are things that we do that can affect some things... approach the statement as kind of prediction of what will be of the future... whatever the future will be...will be..."as it should". that in a universal knowledge... the universe will unfold itself as the future will become the present and the later the past and there as it happens it unfolds as things happens we see it or the result is there from the anticipations we make from the situations at hand...

I don't buy into this statement or philosophy at all.
I believe that we have MUCH more control over the outcome of our experiences than we actually realize. I believe that we exert this control by way of the beliefs, thoughts, emotions, words and actions that we project and that the vibrations from these projections affect us and the world in untold ways.
I used to believe that I couldn't control certain outcomes. I no longer believe this. I find meditating on whatever "issues" I am going through and projecting my intentions around them actually do change the "expected" outcomes. Not always with the specific results that I intended, but usually in ways that work out better in the long run.
Human beings have MUCH more power than we have historically been led to believe by, especially by organized religion and socio-political leaders, who want us to feel helpless and dependent upon them.
Don't believe it? Try it yourself.
Take 10 minutes a day to meditate quietly. Clear your mind as much as you can. It's tough at first, but gets easier. Set an intention around the outcome of a situation that you want. Don't be limited by anything in your intention. Don't be limited by time or space and especially not by "logic" or what you have been taught is a predisposed or "prerequisite" outcome. Intend whatever outcome you want as long as it does not hurt or attempt to control anyone else. Thank God (or whatever higher power you believe in) for the outcome, believing that it has already been granted.
Blessings to you!

It is part of a line from the famous poem "Desiderata", by Max Ehrmann. I think it means that things will happen the way they are made to happen. Whether what we do changes the outcome or not, then so be it. Don't fret if you fail, but learn from it. Don't stop when you succeed, keep going. Whether you fail or succeed, there is a reason for it. Find that reason and use it the best way you can. (That one little line sure says a lot.)

i think its true, but i dont think we are very significant as far as the universe goes. we have the power to change things if everyone was together, but that probably wont happen because people are basically selfish and think of themselves way more than they do others. in the universe, everything has a reason, its all explainable as far as what happens. mankind is a different story, we defy all the laws of nature, and ive yet to find anyone who can explain why we do what we do.

This statement should be taken exactly as it was meant within limits. I view it as a declaration that people should not stress themselves over that which they cannot change. If something is stressing you out, and you have control over it, then by all means do what you can about it. But if there's nothing you can do about something or it's beyond your control, then no worries! Carpe diem baby.

I think it's a load of crap 'cause it is always easier to say "lemme do this & that, anyways things r gonna happen". I will always choose to go against the flow, not to walk with the crowd change the day that comes ahead 'til theres's not a single impulse in my head!

If you are treating and viewing "The Universe" as a living organism as I do , then it does and will. Other than that nature is brutal and violent. As for myself I subscribe to google & yahoo alerts : Hubble Telescope. You can get a great view..

I take it more as a statement of science meaning that the Universe will keep expanding or do something weird that we cannot comprehend, but nonetheless it will do what it is destined to do.
