Do you reaaly belive in Destiny

hi Shubhangimm.i truly believe in destiny.its true that if something happens because it has to hapeen since its written in heaven.but i also believe that hard effort is always supported by it.however if i ever commit a mistake which i did knowingly,then for that i dont blame destiny.those done unknowingly can be told as destiny.everyone on tihs earth has a destiny sought for them and they all will act according to the destiny.i am a firm believer of god.

Believing in destiny sucks. Here's the problem with believing in destiny: where does free will come in? Destiny defeats the purpose of free will, of choice. If there is destiny, what's the point of having choices? To those who believe in destiny/fate, do you like the idea that you are not the one in control of your life? That you are just a puppet of the greater scheme of things?

Yes I do believe in destiny because you hear of people getting to where they want to be through all odds and yes I believe most things are meant to be although some bad things some people do maybe not maybe thats a human failure....

Oh absolutely I strongly believe in fate and destiny, what will be will be. I know that life is a big circle and we have bad stages in our life and we also have good stages to look forward to. As we born our destinies are laid out for us, the plan of our life is there, if only we could see it. It would be good to find out what our life is all about and when we do get hurt or life gets too much we can look forward to when life will shine once again thanks to destiny providing a way and a new road to travel.

Firmly I do believe thru our own wisdom, we do create each of our destiny. Our destiny simply rely on how we deal with life. So since we create our destiny, we can't blame anybody for our life. We were equipped with the talents and all the blessings from God, all we need is to believe we can make a diffence. If we ask God's help, we also need to do our share and keep our faith.

Hello! Wow, always great to hear a sincere question! So few of them here... I am a Christian, and I want you to know that, believe it or not, this one does not keep me up at night. It's extraordinary to me how much attention this question gets, and I suppose it does seem like a conundrum. The idea is that we've got to know how this works, we've got to find out whether we are robots in God's Machine or genuinely free to be ourselves. Once we Know that, then we'll be a long way towards Figuring It All Out. We can sit back and say, 'well, this is how God works, see, you put choice A into event C and you get result B...(or not) This is theological thinking. It comes from the Greeks, who loved to ask unanswerable questions and then debate them all day. I admit it's fun. You will probably be disappointed by my answer, but to me, what this question demonstrates more than anything is the basic inability of Human Beings to grasp Causality. If you think about it, all the big Causality questions are open philosophically... Where did we come from? Regardless of whether you say 'God' or 'Organic Soup' the question really remains unanswered: 'Oh yeah? Well where did That come from?' Here's another: 'Did I do this, or is something (God, Cultural Conditioning, Historical Forces, My Parents) making me do it? Nurture or Nature? What's interesting is that Philosophy teaches us we must answer this question, as if our lives depended on it. But I don't think we're as rational as we think we are. I think a lot of things in life are intuitive. My answer then is, both, and neither, and regardless of all the arguments by theologians Christian and Atheist, the fact is that in the next moment you have a choice to make, whether to eat a hamburger or stir-fry, jog or watch a movie, work or quit. You can say, 'God already knows, so it's not a choice', or 'God is not a factor, I am free to choose,' either way, the hamburger will still get cold if you don't eat it.
