To suggest that fate exists is to believe that there is something greater acting upon us that we cannot control, and that is simply something I don't believe. I understand that there are a lot of things we can't control, but why are those things attributed to "fate"? I agree that we can only control a certain degree of our lives, but what we can't control is simply what it is; it's just what we can't do anything about, not fate.
The concept of fate implies that each person is destined for something greater than simply existence, and that I don't believe. I believe that we exist and that we can find meaning within our existences, but there is no force such as fate that acts upon our lives. To say that we have fates is to say that we are superior to everything around us. Having fates makes us greater than the microorganisms and apes from who we evolved and more important than the rocks and plants which we share molecules and elements with. Who is to say that they don't have fates? Who destined us to be something greater, but not others?
Well, we did.

ReplyDeletegreat blog harebear. i personally feel like fate makes us inferior since we have no control over what happens to us. however, i do agree that probably humans think too highly of themselves and therefore want to believe that something like fate exists.
