Life and destiny

[snkneo]

I dont believe in destiny, you are the one who decides on your own life

I'll give you one basic question, so tell me, can u choose your family ?

That's not really destiny if you think about it. It's just reproduction. For it to be destiny would require for you to have been alive before.

[Wxxrdx]

But it effects your life, don't you think? If you only had this choice your life could change completely

[joshy23]

They say that all our life is destined, right ?
So why bother yourself trying to make hard choices in your life ?
Maybe I don't quiet get it, I want different answers from different religions even atheists, convince me..

No it’s not,we have given free will that means we can do whatever we want and now you are saying that it was destined?lol you make mistakes then you will suffer from the consequences,and you made good the you will be awarded .this is life and nothing is being fixed and that’s all e Ned to learn
This needs no religion jut to be explained because you being a man can understand what this really mean

I don't believe life is destiny, people can create their own destiny depends on their what dream in life. Some want to become successful by doing hard work some want a simply and happy life without any materials things.

But it effects your life, don't you think? If you only had this choice your life could change completely

So meaning need to work for destiny how destiny to change ourlives.

I do partly believe in destiny but not our whole life,what I believe about this destiny thing is our Lover that in perfect time this will be awarded to us.but our daily living depend on how we wanna do it and how we will deal with it,that’s how the world must be.because if everything is destined people need not to do anything but wait right?

In fact, life and fate are two different, but, with each other, the relationship is very strong.
Everybody thinks that life can be called life if it is in the right way to survive. And luck is, those tools that happen with life. For example, it can be said that I came to know about Facebook with a friend of mine, in this case my friend has come as a friend, but I do not know whether or not to meet him, but if there is a visit to meet me as my destiny Can take hold.

I do not believe in destiny.  Life is what we choose it is.  If we wanted to be a somebody some day then it will be if we work hard for it.  Though there are factors that may affect the outcome but all in all it depends on the choices we made along the way.  Like for example, we won't be in this forum if we do not choose to register and use it.  There are circumstances or possibility that thing may happen but it will be  affected by our choices in life  and/or those who are connected to us.

Science understands that cause and effect runs through everything. This means that we are the effect of whatever things caused us. It also means that the things we do - our destiny - are caused. It means the things that happen to us that we don't want to happen are caused. Science has no way to determine if we are our own cause and effect in any way.

God tells us we have something to do with our destiny, that we have free will. But our free will isn't what we think it is. Our free will that we seem to use to determine our choices, is a cause-and-effect thing that only seems to be free will. Rather, our true free will lies in an area that is deep within us. We often don't understand what we are wishing with our free will.

But God understands our free will perfectly. He manipulates cause and effect so that our free will is answered according to its direction, and so that His desires for the universe are also met.

This is very deep. Think about it. We have free will, but our free will is only in our wishes and desires. Then God directs what happens in life, so that our free will is satisfied in ways that are acceptable to Him at the same time they are acceptable to us.

This is a very interesting question to which it is impossible to give a normal answer

"They" say a lot of things, a lot of it is just bollocks.
When you boil it down, "destiny" is just defeatism, you don't want to take responsibility for your actions so you claim they were predetermined. Alternatively, it can just be a coping mechanism to accept things that have happened. The only place the concept of destiny has any value in would be in books, in stories.
In reality, life is partially what you make of it and partially circumstance.

Destiny according to religious is the pre-plan for our life by our creator and by religious standard we hardly determine what happened to us but as our creator has plan it before we were born. To science and psychology it a different things and psychologically what happened to us is our making. It is better to look at the two point of views in other for us to understand what is Destiny and what is not.

I'm all for differing perspectives, but as I've said in my previous post, I link the religious perspective to little more than defeatism or coping with things they can't influence.
In stories, it can be an interesting concept, but in reality it's just pure nonsense.
Can you say with a straight face that it is your destiny to take a shower? To cook a meal? To talk to your buddy? People only like to bring it up for "major" events, but if we assume a "creator" exists, then why would a burned down house or dead family be any less mundane than the examples I've listed, to them?
Belief in destiny can be very dangerous, it's another way to tell you that life has no consequences 'cause everything is predetermined.

What is normal?  is it destined?

[LMBDA]

I believe that every individuals possess different kinds of destiny, this is why need to make choices. You have different destined place and its up to you where would  you want to end up. Does that makes sense? LOL idk.

[Ashes4Beauty]

Yes I quite agree that life is all about destiny. The gimmick here is that one's destiny is tied to his/her choice (decision) to made at every crossroad. Just a programing language that is programmed to run the script at every points it gets a Yes or No response. The programme will keep running till it gets to the dead end. So also is the human life, each decision made leads to another till the major goal is achieved or hit the dead end.

[Tygraril.]

Nothing in life is predetermined, no destiny exists. These are the inventions of religious fanatics

[nastyagav]

You made me think about the meaning of life, thank you.

[KenRodriquest]

your own life and create your own destiny by choosing what you want

[Viron]

Whatever choices we have created either it succeed or fail is still part of Destiny. You cannot make any right/ bad decisions without it be destiny to happen in that way. I stronger believer of destiny and i don't think that whatever happened to me happen by chance.

That doesn't really make sense though, there are either choices or destiny, both cannot exist at the same time.
Choices imply a free will, to choose where your life will go.
Destiny implies that you have no free will and that you have no way of influencing anything in your life.
I really don't understand why some people prefer being sleeping slaves instead of taking life into their own hands.
