Destiny...

“Can Destiny Be Changed?”
“Does Destiny Exist?
"OR it’s Just a Word?"

Destiny believers speak that “Person is predefinely intended to something at some place on some time “. Something which is already written and you are merely experiencing it. The only difference is you never going to know what it is going to be. I say “Thank god - Future is unknown” :)

If written destiny exists, then what the life is for? Isn’t life stands for creation rather than just to experience? If future is all written as so called destiny, why do we act? why do we breathe? why do we try? why do we persist? why do we resist? why do we strive? why do we live – in single word ????????

God has provided us with something which is all ours - To create, understand and follow what we want to do about it – “A CHOICE”. Life is always beautiful, as we do not know the future. We never know what’s going to be part of coming tomorrows. It surprises us sometimes with lot of abnormality, mess and bounces and sometimes it keeps you boring as simple as it can. Still, I believe future of person depends on the choices he makes. Heard some day somewhere and I started believing it as so true it seems to be. I have always believed “Our Karma (actions) makes our destiny and it always have had created it since beginning”. There does not exist anything pre-written FATE. Every moment our actions are creating so called Luck or Destiny.


I read lot of responses from the web for my question – Can destiny be changed?

The best answer which keeps everyone in line was – “Even after you have changed your so called destiny - the destiny believers always say that, it is also destiny. Thus, if something happens, that is destiny and again, it is same destiny even if it does not happen. Now you can start pondering whether to believe destiny or not.”

To put it in example,
Well, if you want toast for your breakfast and go to the cupboard and find there is no bread, you could decide that it was your destiny not to have toast for your breakfast that day. If you pop out and buy dome bread and make some toast then did you change destiny? Or was your destiny to have toast anyway?
Destiny and fate is a romantic notion. If you believe in it, then no you cannot change it. It's often a way that we try to rationalize something, good or bad in our lives, that had loads of other factors not have fitted in the way they did, then that good or bad thing wouldn't have happened.

4 years back I read the novel called "The Alchemist" which had strong lines saying,
“The Biggest lie in the world is – At some point of life we lose the control of what is happening to us and our life gets controlled by FATE.”

Needless to say “The Alchemist” was internationally best seller novel. But a novel does not make a life of person rather Life allows person to make choices of creating novel. I am not sure what I read 4 years ago is true or not, but it feels always good to believe in it. Everything what occurs to us can be controlled by us and our series of actions, not FATE.

However, life keeps you twisting and turning with hurricane power over your beliefs when you vigorously think you have figured them out. Isn’t it? People say “God takes exams”:). When you strongly start believing and following something, God starts taking you on Roller costar ride to fight for your belief. Those who lose start believing in FATE and those who keep fighting keep going on.

Question is whose is True belief?

The one’s who never loses and keeps fighting?
Or
The one’s who lose had also the True belief and it’s just he could not fight against it?

Every day I encounter a word called LUCK in my life, which tries to keep proving it's existence. Instances keep on coming across to fulfill it. I am seeing the people who fell apart against destiny. I keep hearing repeatedly “Happens is for good always”. I see often people becoming practical and losing control over their path by changing themselves – that’s what they call it as “Learning of life”.

Honestly speaking, I don’t know where do I stand among all of them, but I keep resisting in believing so called pre-decided written destiny :)

May be “Not Believing in Destiny” is my Destiny – Isn’t it witty? :) :) :)
