I think that can be explained because no-one can see the future!

I think if something is going to happen, its going to happen. Regaurdless what you do. You can delay it, but somehow it will find a way to be done. So I guess you can call that a profate view there.

Completely natural forces beyond our control determine exactly how things will happen, creating a wonderful illusion of free will, but in reality, I don't think we have it.
 
That said, I don't believe in destiny, or fate, really, just a lack of free will.
 
My lack of free will dictates that I post this.

I think we are all put on a certain undetermined path from birth. We can, if we choose to, follow that set path along it's natural route. Go with the flow.Those people are life's watchers.
Then there are those who choose to constantly change the road they are on. As if dodging boulders on lifes rapids. These people are lifes players.
In the end.
Our eventual outcome will always end in the same way.

Does it matter if we know? I'd say making the most of our lives is more
important than thinking about wheter or not something has planned our
whole lives before we were born.

it doesn't matter, true, sometimes i just curious
The devil we blame our atrocities on is really just each one of us.

Fatality happens when you don't use your free will.
Your astrological birth theme predispose you for a fate but after it depends on your will. Most of us use very few our free will, which make us toys of fate.

For me actually it's a 50-50 between the first and third option. While i believe that sometimes our lives is already set and it's all in the hands of the creator, i also believe that our destiny somewhat can be changed if you try with much efforts.
I don't really believe that we can make our live ourselves because it is likely that there will always be some sort of intervention from the creator, both in good or bad way

Second option for me. The only thing that's pre-decided is that everything is going downhill and things can only get worse. The way we fall is our choice

anyway i'm not saying that everything was already predetermined or not, i'm just saying that i don't completely believe people who claimed that they can see the future
Do you believe people who claim that they can't see the future? Wink

sure, why not ? isn't it normal ? for example, can you tell your own future ?
I can hardly tell my past. Wink

just enjoy your life then
