Why There Is No Destiny

Many people argue that there is such thing as fate and destiny. I, however, do not believe there is such thing. Predestination seems to be a very depressing sort of thing, especially in the context of Calvinism- what if you are not predestined, yet you strive your life to be perfect? I believe that you shouldn't follow principles of fate- you should follow your own. Because everyone has different experiences and learns different things, I believe that everyone makes their own fate. By following the gods' guidance, making decisions, and finding your purpose, you have made your own fate. Though at certian magical moments in your life, such as meeting that "perfect person", it may seem easy to attribute that to destiny, you actually made that happen. You caused that meeting between you two.. It just happened that you were perfect mates! Once you have an idea of the kind of mate you are looking for, you begin to start looking specifically for that type- and that is how you find that person.

Though it may be true that opposites attract and so on, that is not the only factor working in strange, unthoughtof, relationships. If you find yourself with someone you would not really have looked for normally, there's a simple answer to that. You were looking for the wrong type of person! :)
