Blog Response 1- Fate (200 words)

In my opinion people dont fall victems to fate or destiny. You create you own destiny and there is no sort of plan or path for us. I dont believe everything happens for a reason, i believe everything is random. For exaple, if one person moves from one side of the world to the other and just so happens to fall in love with someone from that part of the world it doesn't mean that they were meant to be together. Human Emotions are just chemicals affecting the brain. Person A could have just as easily have fallen in love with another person. They weren't 'meant' to be together, the chemicals in their brain make them feel as though they need eachother, and that feeling of 'need' causes them to believe that some divine force cuased them to love eachother. But the reality of it is that there is no real reason for anything, and life if purposeless. If Fate existed then maybe there would be a pursose but, for me, i dont believe in fate so I believe that there is no purpose. The only destiny is the one we create ourselves. the people we meet, the things that occur, and the things we do may have have large influences to our future but there is no evidence to support the fact that they were supposed to happen. Some -most- people believe that we all have plans, paths, destinies or fates but no one actually knows. Fate or destiny is as much imaginary as a purple monster with big red eyes and large yellow teeth just because someone just randomly thought that theory up one day. One may just be alittle more believeable. Another reason people beilve in fate is because it makes them feel good about themselves and about life. But in the end, nobody knows, and no living person ever will.
