page 1 of 2

i'm not too sure if i fully believe in destiny. are you the one making your own decisions and deciding the outcome of your life or is your path already determined? i wanna know what some of you people think... ~_~

it matters.

if u believe in god. yes in some sort of way i think there is destiny. becuz i think.... that maybe when we're in heaven for a long amount of time we'll be recarnated. and that's y god knows us so well. becuz we make the same mistakes we did in our past life. and he knows how we'll act. which answer the thingie "god looks over u" and " god knows everything". so if that happens when a event happens in ur life then god might have a prediction on what u do. but it's ur choice. what u do is ur decision. but if something unexpected happened that made u die. u wouldnt go to either heaven or hell becuz u never made u final decision that will choose ur outcome in life which makes u a ghost. so yeah i sort of believe in fate and destiny but it's not the way u think...

if u dont believe in god. then no. there's no such thing as destiny. becuz life will go the way it does and u can't help or change it. and when someting happens it's ur own choice in what u do. and ur choice will have it's own outcome. not by some stupid saying of destiny. u and only u control ur life. no one else. some may guide and help u but it's ur choice when it comes to things

i thi nk that there is such thing as destiny. i think that ucud choose ur decisions but its already written in ur destiny wut ur decision will be, uk no? i kno i began thinking of this wen i watched HP 3, with the time turner and all. haha, i was wondering if it was bound to happen, if it was int heir destiny to change the future or if they changed their destiny,

Though you can control your personal decisions, there are many things that are beyond your control that still affect you. You can call this thing fate or destiny. Examples of such powerful forces could be nature, economics, or even the decisions of other people.

In my oponion if you believe your path is set then most likely, it is. however if you believe your descisions influence the future then that is most likely the case. it's all about your mindset

yeah...in a way i believe in destiny. i think ur path is set and whatever decisions u make, they're all planned out. i also belive in fate, watever decions/concequences u make/have is just fate.

I believe that God knows the future, and has knowledge of what will happen in the future, and how such happenings will affect the future. However, beyond the fact that we are inevitbly going to participate in the future, which will be the future in any circumstance, I don't know if I believe anything else pertaining to destiny.

...However, if God knows the future, and knows how things today will affect the future, and inherently you, do you still have free will?

Well this has sat untouched for one full day. I will say; you do have free will, despite the fact I mentioned above. :D But, this is not "the rest of the story." :D

if there's such things as fate or destiny, then there's no reason for living.. like no matter how much we struggle in this life, that so called fate have determine the outcome.. and i don't like the sound of it

what i like to hear is.. bad or good, right or wrong of how to live one life is for human themselves to decide. in short i'm atheist and live a life to the fullest is what i believe

Errm... sort of. Not like, "zomg!11 i lov j00!1 t'was destinyz/fatez."

I mean, things are predictable with a certain amount of knowledge, but if a being that knew what I would do in five minutes told me ahead of time I could do something else instead because I would have changed with the knowledge I was given, i.e. I wouldn't be exactly the same as I would have been if I wasn't informed of what I would do. This being would be able to know what I would do as a result of informing me, but it couldn't inform me of what I would do without changing what I would end up doing as a result in most cases.

There is no destiny...our life courses are put before us by the choices we make...there is no divine will (at all) influencing anything....we all make our own futures, so only we are to blame for fortune or destruction

i agree with drakenImmortal, that we make our own destiny.

Destiny is hogwash. It's a superstition instigated by people to make them feel like they have some kind of special purpose in this world. The only purpose you have is the one you make yourself. No book, person, or god can tell you the meaning of your life.

No i don't believe in that. We make things happen

fate.? destiny.? i don't even know if i believe in life (or the meaning). let alone believe in fate n' destiny.

I've never really thought about. Let me see....

I believe that we're not in control of everything in our lives. That would suck, wouldn't it?

But I don't we're entirely out of control either. That would also suck.

I guess I don't believe in fate/destiny. I think I believe that life is bad luck and good luck and making your own damn luck. :D

Fate & Destiny huh?

I'm not sure if I believe in them...
I do some Tarot reading sometimes...

But I do watch Gundam Seed Destiny! ^_^
(Pls.Connect...)

u believe that fate is what we chose to be and destiny is something we will find out as we go on with life...

U think ur life is in ur hands, and only in urs... guess again.. couse god already know what u r about to do, or when ur gonna die and how

i believe in destiny. n i'm sure some of the destiny could changed by our hand.

Does it really matter..... we live and we die, nothing changes that. But to answer your question, yes, I believe destiny and fate does exist, yet they are seprate things......... Destiny is the road that is laid out before you. Fate is the force that is moving you on that path. There are more than one path, but one fate, and that fate will try to move you a certain path. Even if you manage to diverge from the path and take a new one, that path will sometime, latter on, intersect with the path that fate was trying to push you on........ when that time comes, Fate will make it's move..........

Alright, over with that crap lets put something else on:

You choose between the love of your life or your best friend and family. You can only save one, who will you save. Keep in mind this is your mind that is making a decision, so choose wisely...... at times like these, does fate, destiny really play a hand, or is enitrely on us to make the decision.... What if we save neither cause we were thinking too long........ What if we die in the attempt to save one........

All right, really, don't give a damn about fate and destiny.... you have life, try to enjoy it..... or as I say: "we are all born with a curse, but we can make it a blessing in anyway we choose" Make your blessing and forget about the unimportant things.....

That is hard to answer. Humans are born with free will. Yet at the same time God is able to see into the future if he chooses to and see what we will do. If God is able to see what we will do before we do it would that be considered destiny? If that is so then what about our free will as human beings, the right to choose what religion we believe in.

I believe there are some lines that are already set. But from point A to point B there is an infinite number of possibility.

infinite number of possibilities there may be.... but where can it end is always one and only one path.....

as in how i write these words... i can write them in infinite possible direction or style but i write it as i wrote down before....

fate and destiny is only a term used by ppl to understand what they themselves have not --- the exact happening is by no choice as it will happen no matter watever number of possibilities exist....

i must also note that god(s), if exist does not change destiny or fate as they themselves are held by fate or destiny... gods can change something but did they?

my 20cents after my inactiveness for like wat seems foreva

I to believe they are term people use to define what they don't understand as well as that the god(s) don't change our destiny. However, I do believe we have a purpose that we must fulfill.
