Answer 2

I think I believe in fate and destiny because when I have a meaningful event take place I cannot help but look back at the process it took to get me here. In many cases, there were clear points that stick out that had direct relation to me making it to this place now.  And I do believe without all of those things occurring, the outcome would have been changed.  

Plus, the fact that enough meaningful events have happened in my life that I see this pattern of things working out for me. And that my friend, is one of the sole reasons I continue to believe in fate and destiny.  I try and not question the process, or why things have to happen to me, as I know they will have meaning in my life at some point.  

Having this belief in fate and destiny gives me something to look forward to and to believe in for my future.

Answer 7

I believe that we create our own Destiny, because God in his infinite Love for us, gave us Life, and common sense, as to how we are going to Live our Life and what is right or wrong with the choices we make.



So, if we chose the wrong path, then what we need to do is to realize our mistakes and try to undue what we already created.

I have never regretted the Life I had led so far, I am grateful to God all he has done for me and my Family, if I am still here is because he does not want me up there with him yet, and believe me I have had a lot of close calls during my Lifetime, so, if I am still here at the age of 66, than Thank be to God, for that. For that I am very grateful.

Answer 8

Religion, faith, human experience, history

Answer 9

What makes me believe in fate or destiny?

Because I refuse to believe that all acts and events are random, that life is a series of lessons that help us develop and grow to become better beings. Fate gives us opportunities to use judgment and grow. I believe we repeat our lessons until we master them, and unless we do, we are doomed to keep making the same mistakes. The idea of fate implies a greater force. Fate could imply that there is a God, that our lives have a purpose. Free will does not imply a God or a destiny. I believe in Fate because otherwise all of the death, suffering and pain that is present on this globe would be for nothing.

Answer 10

Because I think there are no accident in this world. Everything is arranged by god. Long time ago before the world is created, god was write our destiny.

Answer 11

I believe if you change a behavior,

your fate changes.  If you are

stealing cars, for example, and you

stop, you're fate has been changed.

If you get aggressive easily, and

decide to change, so does your

fate.

Answer 12

It is like the space time coninuum is a quilt.

each layer represents the different aspects of time,the 3 dimensions, foundation, batting, colorful top layer

the fourth dimension, Time,  is the stitching that pulls it all together

And sometimes, stitches don't go all the way through, sometimes, they don't follow the correct path, the creator may intentionally or not, change the flow of the stitches

And sometimes, there are just wrinkles, that causes peoples path's to cross, just at that right moment

Your response to fate, is the 5th dimension

Answer 13

The past makes me believe in fate, things that have happened could only have happened the way they did. There is no way to go back and change it. Could i have reacted differently, yes absolutely but then that would have been my destiny.
