I believe in destiny. I believe everything happens for a reason and that people come into our lives for a reason.

Nope. To quote Terminator 2: "No fate but what we make."

At first, I thought this said "dentistry." Why I then felt the urge to TELL that to everyone, I just don't know . . .

No, but that hasn't seemed to have stopped destiny from trumping my hand a time or two! Call it suspiciously timed random chance, if you prefer that to a metaphysical destiny.

I believe in Destiny and that things happen for a reason. I also believe people come into your life for a reason. If you open your heart and mind to it Destiny can be great.
Before coming to lush I would not have made this statement but now I truly believe this. Whatever the reason good or bad I believe my time here is meant to happen. Meeting the people who know me is also meant to be for whatever may happen. -

What destiny could there be in the death of a child?

I do not believe in destiny, it implies I have no control over my life. Love at first sight? Yeah I do, it's what happened to me and gave me 44 years of beautiful life. Lots of problems, but nothing that couldn't be worked out.

I don't believe in luck either because it implies that some can control their fate with wishes and wants. Pasquale said, "Chance favors only the prepared mind." I believe that so I've been preparing my mind for years. I've found many of those favors, but missed many too, I'm not sure what the odds are though. Pretty much I believe it's all a crap-shoot, just chance taking another swing at us.

Being a Taost helps with that, it helps me "Think."
I am always a gentleman.

I am very sorry for anyone who has lost a child. I do not see this as Destiny at all. There is nothing I could say that would make that hurt less. This tragedy has happened within my family as well as people close to me. There is nothing in this world that could prepare someone for that.
My reference is more to people coming into your life for a reason. You are destined to meet for whatever reason that may be and for however long. I have suffered through many many trials in my life and do not believe it is my destiny to continue fighting but somewhere there is a new destiny for me to move forward.

Doesn't that apply to having children then? It's just a question btw, it doesn't refer to something I experienced myself. It might as well be about the passing of any loved one.

What's the story behind the quote? I'm a science guy! And I'm sure you can tell it more charmingly than Google.

And I do not believe in destiny. Though I think there is great beauty and meaning in the patterns that form in the chaos.

Louis Pasteur was doing research on a chicken cholera. It was summer and during summer in France, everyone goes on holiday. So, Pasteur told his lab assistant to inoculate the chickens with full strength cholera and he left for the beach; however, the lab assistant decided to go on holiday himself and didn't perform the inoculation. A month later, when the assistant returned, he inoculated the chickens with the old culture and the birds didn't get sick. He thought he screwed up (and, in fact he did).

But, Pasteur knew that smallpox and anthrax are less deadly diseases when the animal is inoculated weakened version of the bug, so he told his assistant to challenge the chicken with full-strength cholera. The chickens didn't die. When he recounted this in a lecture later, he used the quote.

I love Pasteur. He tested his rabies vaccine on human boy. Can't get away with that now!

Also...I don't believe in destiny. It's too stringent.

i've heard stranger reasons for loving someone. smile

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Well, he didn't have a medical license, so it could have ruined him. But his vaccine worked (the boy had been mauled by a rabid dog) and he saved the kid.

That is the definition of having the courage of your convictions. How can you NOT love that?!?

It's wonderful that he was able to save the boy of course, but other people let their children die from easily curable diseases because of the courage of their conviction as well.

Destiny isn't a moment to moment controlling of your life. Destiny is your destination. What you do on your journey to get there sets your destiny. The bi-sections of random chaos during your journey, ie, dying unexpectedly, winning the lottery, etc, is called fate. I do believe in destiny. I do believe in fate.

I can admire the courage but not like the outcome. In this case, both worked for me.

I'm not sure if I understand.

Are people destined to have a certain fate? If not, then what does it mean to believe in fate?
I read 'having a destiny' as 'being predestined'. Maybe that's incorrect, but I don't see what it would mean to believe in destiny if that's the case.

Am I correct to conclude that, according to you, fate is the path/route (of which there might be multiple options) towards one's destiny? And also that if one's (unexpected) death is merely fate, not destiny, that you believe that death is not the end?

I actually don't think that the universe cares that much about who I fall in love with.

When we find a strong connection with someone, we tend to want to believe it's the work of something greater than chance.

The reality is that even if there are no cosmic forces steering us, we will still wander through life and find some connections that are intuitively special, and others that are altogether disastrous.

Sort of.

I don't fully believe in the concept of 'The One'.

It's a beautiful idea, believing that there is just one person out there for you with whom you're meant to be and share yourself, but shit happens. People die. Opportunities are missed. Timing/location doesn't work out the way it should. Everything doesn't magically click just because a powerful connection exists. You have to be able to make something work beyond that, and that bond or connection won't always transcend reality (finances, jealousy and other negative emotions, cleanliness, etc.).

And I know it's easy to say that if it doesn't work out, then perhaps they weren't the one, but maybe they were but only for a short time.

I believe in the Destiny we create for ourselves by being open to the opportunities presented to us, especially if that means letting down your guard enough to let someone in. But if you fuck it up or if that person dies or something, I don't believe that you'll never have a chance for a deep, meaningful, long-lasting (or even everlasting) connection with someone else.
