Paradox on Fate

I believe in fate. Maybe we are all meant to be exactly where we are and every moment that we live is life-changing. Maybe we are each fated to certain events, decisions, people. I believe that if it is meant to happen then it will happen. There are a lot of people who stress and overwhelm themselves with things they cannot change, but if they leave it to fate, maybe it wouldn’t be so rough on their mental health.

It is going to happen, whatever it is, one way or another, and we can’t change it because we have no clue what we would be changing. I believe in fate because once it happens, it’s irreversible. We have no idea or true warning, and I feel that if the universe had any other intentions for our lives other than what we make out of it, then we would have reset buttons and time machines.

But I also don’t believe in fate. Maybe we live and do a bunch of unnecessary shit just die. Maybe we are all just completely accidental and a total coincidence. I believe that nothing we do matters what so ever. We meet a guy or girl. We marry them. We get a dog. The dog dies. Our wife or husband dies. We die. Maybe the only thing fated in life in death, everything before that is just whatever happens, happens. We don’t know. it’s irreversible and it only happened because we allowed it to. Maybe it is all without purpose but believing that all the bad things that happen to us won’t necessarily lead to something better, or that those wonderful moments with the person you love might just fade away, is kind of depressing.

You can call me indecisive, but what is wrong with me believing in fate, and the lack of if I can explain them both. Fate is a beautiful thing, maybe everything is already planned for us, and no matter what choice we make, it will be the right one because fate has already decided our choice. There is no right or wrong, because whatever we do, rather it is morally correct or not, it’s fated. On the other hand, the lack of fate and reason for living, leaves us to make our own happiness that will just lead to death anyway. We are kind of left with a “what does it matter” view on life, so we do what ever the hell we want because it doesn’t matter anyway.

Yeah, I believe in both, but at the end of day I really just believe in doing you, whatever that may be. Rather you do it because of fate, or because you feel there is no purpose to do otherwise, just do it. I just hope that what you do makes you happy, because life, fated or not, shouldn’t be sad.
