My view is that 'fate' is what the Universe, or Being as such is at bottom. Everything that can happen, or that can exist, already happens all at the same time in the absolute realm of Being. Everything is all at once, solid and static in continuity.
fate according to the oxford concise is 'a power regarded as predetermining events unalterably' i think that means that fate determines everything that happens, and its inevitable, but i dno. To me its just the belief that everything happens for a reason

Then I don't believe that....I believe there are always forks in the road alwaysssssssssssssss...for every decision you make...you can make or change your life or reality to some point...things are not fated...It's the the reaction to the action you took.
why r there consequences then? i think they are fates way of guiding us, which is why i was confused about God because isnt that wot he does? supposedly

Iīm not sure either if I believe in fate. I donīt think things are predeterminated, the future is yet to be decided. But there is consequences as you said, like the laws of physics. If you do something, then it will have a predetermined effect.
Maybe there is degrees of fate... laws of physics always happen as they are supposed too, computer programs too(in theory ), but we can choose to not follow our fate at some degree right. We are animals we are supposed to follow our instincts, that is what animals do, but we can act against them. Maybe there is fate, but there is will too, and this one is used to change the fate.
That's horrible...defiantly...full of deformity..hot...Too hot....kinda really freaky....Saddens me so much.....Is this a Buddhist teaching?......I'm not talking to you anymore....All Buddhists are evil......

I cant see in your eyes, Cant change it, no more tries, Leave everyone with a smile
And you're sad, you feel like a little child
Somebody's left there is no rain.
I have a different perspective on fate. I believe fate is the downfall of a being, his death. If someone dies in a car crash, i believe it was his/her fate to die in that car crash.
I also believe in destiny, my version of destiny is what you do with your life. Lets say your president of the nabisco, that was your destiny to become the president of that company.
Fate is all the bad things that happen to you.
Destiny is all the good things that happen.
Just my opinion.

Well thats kinda hard to answer, but i guess it could be , say those who dont survive armageddon, fate caught up to them, for them not paying attention.
Kinda like what happen in noah's day.
