Im one of those weirdos who believes that there is some aspect of fate in our lives.
For me at least its not a set thing though. I see it as more of diverging paths that each decision in life takes you on a different road with a different result. Like had I stayed at my old university, I would have never gone to Norway or traveled Europe as much as I have, wouldn't have gone to see the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo (as I wouldnt have worked for a year to raise the money for it). All those things set me on the path I am now and I think there is an end state for all of this that is determined by some sort of force that we cannot understand.
When I think of all of this I very much think of Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken"-
Thoughts? Of the people Ive talked to about this I seem to be in the minority when it comes to this so Im interested to hear if anyone else thinks the same way.Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
