"Destiny, Chance, Fate, Fortune- they're all just ways of claiming your successes without claiming your failures." - Gerrard of the weaterlight(magic card).
Maybe Fate is just this big theory made up just to make excuses for our mistakes; another way of copping out of responsibility. When i did my first blog i already had my veiws on fate. I believed that out there somewhere there was a plan or grand design pre made for every individual. "Whats meant to be will be" if you will. After learning more and discussing the topic with friends, teachers, and my mother I cant say my belief/view has changed but rather matured. I have found it hard to come to a decision on fate vs. freewill without bringing in the factor of religion. I personally believe in fate in a way that God has a plan for me. The bible tells me God gave me free will so i have a choice to choose him. After i chose him i have chosen the fate he has created for me. Outside of religion its like you choose the first step and out of that step comes your fate. Say if you were meant to invent something imprtant you may have said i dont want to be a scientist i want to be a dog walker and one day you decide there has to be a better way or cleaning after them. Then you decide to create something. Guess what?!? you just invented something. Or maybe you told your friend and instead you did not invent but they decided they would. Beccause you did not take the first step fate was changed. Maybe fate is like Santa Clause, its something we want to believe in. Everyone wants to believe they have some sort of purpose. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen-Hebrews 11.1 . No one really knows the real answer of fate vs. free will. I think its just in the belief of the individual.
