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.

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 theorylaughing out loud ), 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.

Calm down. It's called the burning man. A bunch of artist get together and do a "light show" in the desert.

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.
