What is fate?
According to google fate is destiny: an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future.
Is it true then that one can control the outcome of their own fate? If something is inevitable its bound to happen; There is not any one way you can alter the outcome of something inevitable. How is it then that one can determine their own fate? Many people believe in fate but, they believe that they can change their fate; If you believe in fate entirely why try and alter it (especially if it can not be altered in the first place)? Also, if you whole heartedly believe in fate why try? In the end you're going to become what "fate" had prescribed to you.
I'm not saying I don't believe in fate. There are instances where I, myself, use the word fate loosely while still believing in it. I believe everything in life happens for a reason. That, one day, everything will all make sense and come together even though I never planned it to. Hence, fate. However, I believe that fate should not be labeled as the inevitable outcome yet, as an unplanned ending to something wonderful, you can alter it and twist it in many ways to make it work for you.
Great post, Isabelle! Why do you believe that everything happens for a reason? How do you know that there is a reason? How do you know that there isn't a reason? Great to have a song in your first post. It is fun to listen to the music and to write back to you. I can't wait to hear the next piece of music. What made you choose this one? You are a beautiful girl! So glad that I get to share your writing with you.
