What is Fate?

I believe in fate, but i dont believe in God. But aren't they just different names for the same thing? 😕

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.

I'm not sure I believe in fate....Maybe consequences for you actions...but not fated to be this or that....

Define fate?

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.

but isnt it tru that u learn from experience? so obviously that experience happened to u to teach u that particular lesson.....maybe

But you aren't fated to it....there is no fate...only consequences.

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

NO.....That's a church teaching.....

I´m not sure either if I believe in fate. I don´t 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.

argh now im all confused!

Fate is our way of describing the irony of chaos

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.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

...NOW THAT'S FATE!

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

Fate is the total loss of control.

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.

What is fate?

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.
