Does anyone here believe in fate?

[Haze]

Do you believe that if something is truly meant to happen, it will in some way, shape or form? Does fate just help us along, allowing us to make the final decision?

:) you got it right there girl... fate lead us to something but still we human beings has the final say in everything... it seems your carrying a heavy load upon your shoulders? is there any problem? need some help?

I deffinitely believe in fate.....and i could go on and on forever on the subject. I dont believe anything in our lives happen just because.....but rather that there is a reason behind everything...but yes, as Maverick says...its up to you and the choices you make that alter how things will eventually turn out.

I believe in fate. I think there is a basic plan for everyone, figuring it out is the challenge of it all. That's what we do our entire lifetimes, go through obstacles to get to where we should be.
That's my opinion anyway.

As far as I'm concerned, it was fated that I should meet my *M*, which is by far the best hand fate could have dealt me :)

how do you convince a bitter cynical realist ..that there is such a thing as the one true love....?? fate? prince charming?
:o
when..really..their all toads.:mad: :redhot: :cold:

How do you change the mind of a bitter cynic realist? Easy. Wait until they fall in love. :p

And men aren't all toads. Just a lot of them, hehe. What we all are, though, is men. And that alone makes us a bit...um...different....from women. And i mean that in a psychological sense. To truly love a guy, you gotta understand, accept, and embrace his manhood. And i mean that in numerous ways ;) (oops, that shoulda gone on the sexual board!)

However, what is truly difficult is convincing a Sociologist/Psychologist that there is fate, a one destined true love, et cetera. The truth is that people choose one to love, and develop their feelings for that person. Of course, a person has to be a really good person, like a friend sort of relationship, before a really good loving relationship can occur. Otherwise it just won't work out; if they can't be friends, there's zero hope for real love.

And that's the scientific point of view.

One would think that more people that have been through divorces would be of this opinion, but what can i say. Willful Ignorance.

:wavey: Hi there.

I'm a new girl!

Hope you don't mind me joining in in this debate.

I do believe in fate, but..........when men never ask you to go out with them and treat you more like a good friend (as far as I'm aware I haven't got horns growing out of my head - well I hadn't the last time I looked and I don't think I'm that ugly!) ..............I wonder am I destined to be alone for the rest of my life. Is that truly my fate?

"Fate" implies that the future is pre-decided. Some people take comfort in the knowledge that we are just living out some sort of script. That way, they do not have to feel personally responsible for the things that happened to them or the things they brought upon others... they can just throw their hands to the side and say, "Well, that's the way it was meant to be." It's easy to look back at circumstances and coincidences and say, "Wow! It must have been fate for such and such to happen." NO! NO! NO! Such and such happened because one plus one equals two, becase A leads to B leads to C ... If I may quote whoever it was that wrote that line for Linda Hamilton in Terminator II: "No fate but what we make."
