pkc wherever you got that...they have a shitty dictionary. there are TWO definitions. and jdat and i posted them. also most of those entries say the same shit.

theres nothing wrong with those definitions. i was a bit slow off the mark, but they say basically the same thing as your definitions.

well to be a definition it must be different than another for that word if i am not mistaken? so that would mean most of those are saying the same thing as the 2 true definitions. nothing against your posting slightly later cause it happens to all of us.

just so you know if you read it, it defines destiny like 5 out of the 6 definitions and the other one is the 2nd meaning.

Hey m8 - Just saw this as I walked in the door from class. I'll get out my notes and try to synthesize them down into a post for ya later

i don't believe that there is a fully created blue print for existence...but there are certainly times where you look around at events and happenings, and know that they could not possibly be mere coincidence...

pre-determinded fate? ...not necessarily

reasons why things happen? yes

thats just plain stupid. "reasons"- wtf is that supposed to mean? if you mean theres a cause and effect relationship, well obviously. if you mean theres some greater significance as to why "shit happens" then thats just romantic nonsense.

you dont "know" anything, you assume. big difference. a gut feeling or some kind of faith isnt evidence of anything apart from your own gullible nature.

lol @ girls.

I believe in fate & destiny.

I've had my fair share of experiences that MADE me believe in them.

"I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time."

fate & destiny are merely human constructs designed to apply meaning to otherwise meaningless events.

Well you lead a dull & pitiful life. Fate & Destiny give people hope. When things that shouldn't have happened, happened... you can't help but believe that there is some sort of pathway for life.

I begin to believe in fate and destiny more and more... especially lately.

Fate is for those who don't want to be held responsible for their actions.

Originally posted by all-nite-freak im not defending anything. i'm just bugging you because there is no way for you to prove your point and you aren't cool enough to have hunter s thompson in your avatar

of course there isn't, this isn't the kind of argument you prove, its the kind you debate
just in the same way you can't prove god's existence, but you can't disprove it either

the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence



oh and fate's a load of horse shit for the weak-minded/ people in desparate need of hope/ppl who were essentially brainwashed by their parents who were brainwashed by their parents etc etc etc
you know, like christianity

oh, coz false hope is such a wonderful device for cretins to fool themselves with . its people that ally themselves with unproven notions of magic that i find "pitiful".

speak for yourself. romantic nonsense without a shred of evidence to support it. the universe is billions of years old, bigger than any of us can ever imagine, thousands of planets, and YOU think YOU'RE life has special meaning?

if people wanna believe nonsense in order to make themselves feel better, then so be it. but emotional crutches like that wont help people command their own destiny.

lol, given your point of view and what you'd said so far, bad choice of words

Ok, well you just continue being bitter and unhappy and proclaiming that things such as God and Destiny and Fate don't exist... and I'll go on being fantastically happy with my own life and beliefs.

*edit

ps - it's YOUR life... not "YOU'RE life".

And I never said that ONLY my life has special meaning. Not once. I said it gives people hope, and from MY experiences, in MY life, I CHOSE to believe in fate & destiny. Silly!
