Fate, or destiny, whatever Options

Hey all!

I was just wondering how of you believe in fate, meaning that your lifes course is already written for you?

and if you believe in such a thing, can your fate be changed somehow? can you neglect your fate or our you controlled by forces outside your control?

My personal view (at the moment, it will probably change after this discussion) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bigwink.gif) is that people have certain things they are good at and certain things they are not, but I do not actually believe in fate at this time as don't like the idea of not being in control. I guess whether your LHP or RHP has a lot to do with it.

"I think time is flat, but goes in all directions."

Neato concept. I assume you mean each action creates a new timestream and there are trillions upon trillions of simultaneous timestreams? I believe that could be true, but each of those trillions upon trillions of timestreams would still be circular (that is to say, there's no beginning, no end, the future has already happened -- we're just not aware of it -- and the past will happen again -- not to mention it's all an illusion anyway.)

Fun.
