Well hello world. At least the world of the the keyboard, screen, and the typed word.
I have been remiss in writing lately. My life has been in flux.
Work has increased its demands, and life demands that I learn what I want and start sticking to the morals that I sometimes so handly "forget" that I am attempting to apply to this thing I call a life.
Hmm, emo.
Lets branch off from there then.
Fate.
It would seem to me that fate is a circular statment. Almost like the circle of: "God is because I believe, why do you believe, because God is."
If fate does exist, and we assume that the human life is a chain of events, not singular moments in time unconnected to the world around us, then I believe I can make a convencing statment that the belife of fate in itself is circular.
If an event, relationship, or action is assumed to have been fate, then we have to assume that all points leading up to that event, relationship, or action are fated too. They would have to be, again assuming that it is indeed a chain reaction that brought a human to this particular moment in time. So if we assume that the time and events leading up to this moment of fate, were also fate, then we can say that everything ever done up untill that time was fate.
At this point we have completely cut out human decision making. Even if one says well, I can change my fate, and I will sit in my house and starve to death thus defeating fate, if you truely believe in the principle of fate, then you were fated to slovenly waste your life in a starved stupor gnawing at your mattress in your last agonizing gasps of breath as the hunger pains and the malnurishment take you.
It would appear that the only way to defeat fate is to not agree that it exists.
Unless of course we make some different assumptions at the begining.
Fate is not a principle like the 2nd law of Thermodynamics "The second law of thermodynamics summarizes that totally different events involving all kinds of energy have a common cause", instead fate is an idea.
The idea of fate is simply that exploring new terrian, and relationships feels so right that you have to only assume that it was ment to be. As humans on the whole tend to be a very misserable species, when something so enriching comes along, something so mezmerizing, so utterly perfect you just have to believe that the divine had some doing in it (assuming again there is a divine, did I ruin the moment? Alright moving on, sorry to slow you down).
So Fate.....
Law in Stone or Law of the Heart. While neither of my arguments are likely perfect, I think it is safe to say that each person molds the idea of fate to fit in their needs and vocabulary.
