The idea of Fate/predetermination
June 27, 2013 at 5:42 pm
All:

I would like some input on the general idea of fate/predetermination. My definition of fate is that all things are destined to happen. Recently, I had a lesion above one of my kidneys, which luckily turned out to be a cyst. I was concerned about the lesion, but a friend of mine told me, "What will happen, will happen." In essence, negating my anxiety with fate. I HATE these kind of statements, since they are vague and vacuous. Is there really a place where everything is written down that is going to happen? What are these statements supposed to do? If the intent is to make me feel better, it does not provide that comfort.

So tell me folks, what are your thoughts on fate/predetermination?
