Do you believe in fate or coincidence?

Question

I believe in fate.

Answer 1

I truely believe that you allow what comes into your life.

Answer 2

I believe there are no coincidences. Everything happens for a reason. What happens is determined by your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. The Bible gives us the recipe for living a fulfilled life. I also believe in Angels. They protect and guide us-if we listen closely. They walk among us daily.

Answer 3

I believe in FATE or DESTINY because it is envisaged as fore-ordained by the Divine and is a fixed timeline of events that is inevitable and unchangeable. There is nothing we can do to change our DESTINY.

But, KARMA is freewill, though, so that an individual does have the ability to make choices on how he will live out his DESTINY (All living creatures are responsible for their KARMA-their actions and the effects of their actions). The LAW of KARMA acts back on an entity, from which the cause came, like the law of action and reaction without limiting free will of man. Also, KARMA is the sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing, and will do. KARMA is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment, or reward - it's the effects from all deeds actively created, through choices made, in the past, present, and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own choices made in life and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, KARMA extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

Then there’s DHARMA, which constitutes the religious and moral doctrine of the rights and duties of each individual. Ethically, it means 'right way of living' or 'proper conduct,' especially in a religious sense. It works within the LAWS OF KARMA and morality, regulated by divine principles.

DHARMA provides the laws and KARMA judges the freewill choices of an individual in fulfilling that individual’s DESTINY. Again, in religions that incorporate reincarnation, KARMA extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

The whole process is so our souls can achieve PERFECTION through ENLIGHTENMENT. Hope the above explanation had enlightened you somewhat.

Answer 4

I believe that there are some things in life that are meant to happen, but they may be "meant" to happen because of actions we've taken in the past. I vote more on free will, because otherwise i'm just a puppet and someone else is pulling the strings, which is not a comforting thought to me.

Answer 5

No such thing as fate. Of couse I believe in coincidence. You reap what you sow. Cause and effect. Strong will and perseverence will make things happen.

Answer 6

I believe we have some control to make things happen as we go along a certain path...
