Fate

[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]I don't believe in fate/destiny. If fate were to be acknowledged, what is the point of doing anything in life? Take, for instance, a homeless man on the street. Was it his fate to be a bum for the rest of his life? No, decisions that he made, and bad luck (if you believe in the concept of luck) led him to an outcome. If everything were to be left to destiny, why bother making any decisions at all? Throw the concept of control out the window because no one would have any control over anything. I refuse to acknowledge that the decisions I make today will have no impact whatsoever on what kind of future I will lead.

Now good luck/bad luck is something that I can work with.

@Wani: I don't see how anyone can confuse predetermination and free will.
