Fate and destiny are things I would really love to believe in for a multitude of reasons. It would be nice to think that we are here for a purpose and that there is some larger plan at work propelling us on our journey. It is an intoxicating thought to believe that everything that happens to you has meaning.
However, I just cannot believe. Watching so many people suffer through needless pain with no real change to prevent more people from meeting the same eventual end. To me that is proof that we do not seem to be serving a greater purpose.
If someone is meant to suffer to achieve some goal somewhere on some part of the timeline, then we should be able to see the dots connecting. We do not. Instead we have pain and trauma where there should not have been any in the first place.
Fate and destiny implies that every moment of our lives serves some long term plan. After all the hurt I have witnessed in the world due to someone else’s self proclaimed purpose, I fail to see any driving force other than greed or cruelty.
