Destiny or Fate?

October 16, 2022 8:28pm CST
Early this morning, i woke up with a little thought about destiny and fate. Both the two, fate and destiny refer to a fixed or predestined future. They are hence quite simple to muddle. While fate is fixed and determined by the cosmos, destiny is determined by the decisions we make in life. In some extent, I am really wondering what really makes sense wether it could be the first or the latter.

Sometimes it is fate and destiny. What happens is meant to happen. That is what I believe..

I think since you are destined for a certain thing then your fate will lead you to it. But I believe that we all can change along the way but still end up to what you are destined. We all have challenges that we go through it is either to be better or the opposite and it is all up to us on which direction you lead yourself to. But at the end of the day, you will still see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I disagree, destiny strikes no matter what we do and we can do nothing to change our destiny.

Destiny cannot be swayed seems like programmed already, fate could be evaded through our sense if good or bad.

Hmm, I thought the two words are the same.
