cosanostra Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Absolutely not. Just coincidence. We make our own choices and control our own lives. I hate the thought of not being in control of my own life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Grimes Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hope not. It would take point out of everything. that said, if the big man upstairs reckons i'm fated to win the lottery on friday then i'd be all over that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Root Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I believe in Jack Daniels and that when I drink it in quantity I'm guaranteed to make a tw@t of myself. If that's not fate then what is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Absolutely not. Just coincidence. We make our own choices and control our own lives. I hate the thought of not being in control of my own life. When you have a choice in life, like when fans are heading to the Wheatfield stand on a Saturday, they choose whether to go down the 1st, 2nd or 3rd street, each of these has different outcomes that will affect more than just your life. I don't think everything is set out for us in life, but we can influence where it's going. It depends what the OP meant by fate. If it is a pre-determined life, then I don't believe in that but if it's choices we make to affect this thing we exsist in the I say yes, I believe in that.

I'm completely losing myself here now so I'll say a bunch of words that will probally not make sence. If you make a decision that affects your fate, is that made by you or is that fate making that decision, therefore fate is controlling your life and another point, is fate only controlling your life if you are thinking about it? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambojohnnyboy Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'd like to think that perhaps you are swayed towards making certain decisions that will ultimately change your life, for the good, you just have to have the balls to take the opportunity. Is it fate or coincidence, I know what I'd like it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I guess I believe in fate, I have seen so many things that resulted in something happen because of a fateful decision. A common theme when advising relatives of a fatal or serious injury accident was to have them say, but he/she never goes that way, or never does that. As others have said it took a decision to have one be at the right place at the right time to determine their fate. For me to express my feelings and tales thoroughly cannot be done on the internet, it is a bar stool and few pints situation, as fate would have it.

Craig R Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Absolutely not. Just coincidence. We make our own choices and control our own lives. I hate the thought of not being in control of my own life. Completely agree. We're not robots, we don't follow a pre-programmed path through life. We make our own decisions and control our own lifes. Nothing is 'meant' to happen.

cosanostra Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yep, whats for you won't go by you. I think that's baws. There's nothing that's "for" you. We all just get to know ourselves as people at different rates. Some people find what they want from life early on and some sadly don't. That phrase is just something that people say to their mates when they get dumped or fail a job interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 If you did believe in fate, what difference would that belief make? I'm not sure whether I do or not, mainly due to apathy over thinking about it for the conundrum mentioned above. However, I do believe that each little decision we make has the potential to make huge impacts on our lives in a "Siding Doors" kind of way. I've thought about this often ever since I chose one evening after work to skip the extra pint and get home early. That was the night of the King's Cross fire and if I'd had 20-30 minutes more before passing through KX, things for me today could have been remarkably different. It doesn't leave me with OCD and inability to make decisions but at times I wonder whether a simple decision such as first or second class stamp ultimately leads to soemthing remarkable.
