Answer 4

"Every Mortal Is Responsable for His/Her Own Choices..."  simple movie line.. easy to understand.. applies to everything in life.

Answer 5

I don't believe that there is some sort of plan mapped out for me that will not be altered, no matter what.  There is destiny, for sure, but we can only observe it in the past.  That is, we can trace the events in our lives which led to the present moment.  For example, it was destiny that I would be answering this question. And of course I write my own history, but that, too, is a matter of looking back.  Do I write my own future?  To some extent, but everything I do is completely interwoven with the events that surround me, the actions of those whom I come into contact with - it is so complicated that I would never be able to tease out how much of it is actually about me.  Sometimes I have the illusion that I am in total control of a situation.  I decided to turn on the computer this evening, for example.  But even that action was dependent on thousands of other variables.  So we all write our own futures as well as everyone else's.  That's destiny.

Answer 6

From biblical perspective the answer is yes and no.The destiny of Jacob and Esau was set before their birth.God said the elder one will serve the younger one.On the other hand,God also said he has put before us life and death.It is our duty to choose which way we want to go.

However from sociocultural standpoint the sum total or aggregate of what we choose to do or not in life translate in to a person's destiny.As you make your bed,so you lie on it.

Answer 7

At times in my life, I thought it was all destiny. At other times I thought we created our own history through our actions. A good argument could be made for either of them. Who knows for sure?

Answer 8

hmm...hard question. I think that God has it planned out for you, whether you decide to take his way or not is your decision. Such as God has someone put this amazing house up for sale, and you think you should buy it. You have the money, but WHAT IF it doesn't work out? And you decide not to buy the house when It was God's will that you do. You could miss out on a pretty awesome house. See what I mean? By the way report that person who said 2 points.
