Destiny... Lately I have been thinking about it. The so-called divine thing that binds us to this world. Something that pulls at us. That stays with us. Something that guides us. I sort of believe in it. On the other hand, I don't. Why? Because I hate the feeling of being controlled. That no matter what I do, I can't contol my own future. So, it all bogs down to this: To believe, or not to believe? What if it really controls us? What if every option, every choice we make, will make no difference because we will ultimately come to the same ending? If it really does, then we should all just let ourselves go, because no matter what, our destiny will make sure that everything is guided. And perhaps, we won't need to have any ambitions, because we will be what we will be in the future. Choice, will be a useless thing. Choice is freedom. Without choice, we are without freedom. If destiny doesn't exist, then everything will be the opposite. We have freedom, we can control our own future, we make our own future. One can't help but think; which scenario exists? Then it struck me. There could be a third possibility. Maybe destiny is neither, but a combination of both scenarios. Maybe destiny is made up along the way. There's a saying, The future is always in motion. Nothing is certain. Maybe every step we make, every choice we make, will slowly determine the kind of destiny that we will arrive at. Our path. I choose to believe in this. Then again, perhaps there are no such scenarios. So what if a thing such as Destiny exist? So what if we doesn't? The thing is, we will never know how our future will turn out. We are not born with knowledge of our future in our minds. That being said, it is very difficult to determine such a thing as destiny, because we have no real evidence to proof it. Sure, you can say that destiny made you the way you are now, but another guy could also say that the choices he make in the past and present led him to who he is now. Which of these is correct? How would we ever know? The world is full of mysteries and uncertainties. Nothing is certain. Haha... Destiny...
