Do I believe in fate? No.

I don’t. I can safely say that I don’t at all. I’ve gone through life so far saying that I sort of do..I think I do but I’m not sure. But, no. You see, I’m a very sciency person. I have to have proof for things. I have to have reasons for things if there is no proof available. Fate. Proof? I don’t think there is any. Any example of a situation where fate could have been responsible for something can always be put down to coincidence, right?

And reasons? Well, if anyone has any that I don’t know of, let me know. As far as I am concerned there is no such thing as fate.

I have nothing against people wanting to believe in fate..it’s like belief in God. I don’t believe but if you need to then go straight ahead.

The thing that’s made me realise I definitely don’t believe happened the day my mum went to hospital. I went to work just after she got rushed to A&E. I was talking to my area manager about how I went to work experience in an opticians and ever since then I’ve wanted to do something with the eyes and how I only did it because there was nothing else that interested me at all. And she said "Oh, It must’ve been fate!" And my immediate reason was to look at her in confusion lol.For just a split second I didn’t know what she was talking about – couldn’t understand why she would say that. After that..I just knew that fate plays no part in my life..at least I believe it doesn’t. I’m still open minded..it’s likely that I’m wrong but for now I don’t believe in fate.

(all through this i’ve been typing "fater" instead of "fate"..hmm..)

Hm, I’m not sure if I believe in fate or not. But I know when I’m having a hard time, mainly with guys, that I’m just like .. ‘ah well whatever happens is fate, and this happend for a reason’.. it sorta something nice to make me feel secure.

I’m going to infer that your mum went to hospital for something to do with her eyes? Otherwise I really don’t understand that last section at all… but I guess the point I wanted to make was that people too often use personal good or bad fortune as a reason to believe or not believe in fate, and that’s silly. People should know if they believe in it or not regardless of their good/bad luck.

I totally believe in fate…sorry. I’m a wierd cookie I know but I believe that evryone is put here for a completely different reason to everyone else and that there is already a map laid out fr each of us. We are destined to be with one person and do the thing that we most aspire to do, it just may pass us the first time we are meant to get there but it will come to us…
