Nihilism

[Amarok]

The distinction between them is that fate, ala fatalism, asserts that no causal law or force can change the outcome of events.  In a fatalist universe..if a ball was fated to fall up on tuesdays..it would, no matter how hard gravity was pulling it down.   In a determinist universe, the ball falls down all day erryday.  Similarly, if balls fell down because they were fated to...if gravity where to somehow reverse itself tomorrow......balls would still fall down.  

Which is not really a bad thing depending on the "fate" And it's contrary is not really always a good thing depending on "fate" Setting aside wooters sad attempts at emotional pleas and demonstrating why he ran scream into the arms of irrationality.
