Which do you believe?

I agree with you, but sometimes don't you get the feeling that you have the power over your destiny? There are times that I do. And that is what infuriates me. That is destiny's way of teasing me. thanks for the post.

I think control of our destiny is relative thing. There are, for example, certain things that we do not have control over. If we did, you find that every businessman would be making millions, every farmer would be have a bountiful harvest and so on. However, I think that in many cases, we do have more choice than we realise when we make decisions. How often have we heard the phrase, "But I have no choice?" Well if you get the people who think they have no choice to analyse they're decisions, they'll find that they had more choice than they anticipated. For example, I've been in situations when I've taken on bad jobs because I felt that I had "No Choice," because I needed the money and was broke and things looked bleak. However, after looking back, I've found that I could have made a different choice. Yes, I would have not had the money from the job but I would have had the option to look for something else.

I think with what you said about the busienessman and farmers, destiny somehow maintains a balance in this world like a status quo to limit people. Thanks for sharing your idea though.

Come to think of it, if God already has a will for us do we really have a free will? If God has a plan, then your choice is already a part of His plan. Then who's will is it really?
