in life things are fated?

yah...
coz all things are meant for some thing!
exactly....
otherwise if things are not fated to what they will be it would lead neither on the wrong way!
still depends on the 1st decision making in life!

There are some things which are predestined. But most things in life are cause and effect. We make choices along the way, and those choices direct the changes in our lives. My fear about the idea of predestination is that it allows people to disavow personal responsibility. That's the last thing any of us needs.

i am not so sure its predestined, but i do think we can be born with certain traits, perhaps saying "wired as an individual a certain way", and if we choose to act upon those or tune into our selfs , it can lead us down a certain path
so i think of the subject more as an individuals response to life events, which can influence the outcome and cause other future events to occur , rather then the events theirselves

I don't think so. That would be so hard to take when you fight each day to try to make a difference. I don't believe in a supreme being that is up there pulling strings. He may give us a push every once in a while. But predetermining events takes all free will out of it. I think that it is a cop out from people that don't want to take responsibility for what happens.

I believe you'll end up by deciding what you believe about the matter without regard for what the expert philosophers on QA give you for answers.
And rightfully so.

It's irrational to think that whether i go for a walk this afternoon was pre-determined a millisecond after the Big Bang....

YES...used to work as a telephone operator many years ago...one day I forgot to sign up for my usual day off...when schedules came out, I was given a Tuesday off....HUH? so I went to the lady in charge of that & she said since I did not put down a day off, Tuesday was the only one left...well, I was not happy...so that night I went out to a club I usually went to on weekends only...there I met someone who turned out to be my partner for 27 years, until his passing in 2000 from heart disease....we both felt it was destined to happen...I could have remembered to put down my usual day off, I didn't; I could have stayed home on that Tuesday evening, I didnt....so yes, it can happen; maybe not all the time, but it does happen!!!

No lah, where got such things one. The world is becoming very globalized. It can be difficult to tell who you will end up with or what you will become.
