Yesterday only we school friends discussed about it... and one of my fate_believing friend almost convinced me that there is such thing as Fate... The example he gave me was simple and straightforward -
"Look" he said, "Luck is like choosing the correct answer in GRE exam if you don't know the actual answer. And Because of that answer you are able to go to US... This is Fate..."
The example was very good... or processing speed of my brain was slow :).. but I thought may be he's right... but then I thought - its correct that Luck is like choosing the correct answer in GRE exam (if you don't know the actual answer) but... after that its not fate that decides you will go to US... its your Choice... You choose to go to US instead of staying in India...
Its not "Fate"... Its now written anywhere that you will go to US... its totally your ''Choice" whether to stay in India or to go to US with the help of some "Luck" in gre...
This thought made my point, and more importantly, my mind clear that there's really no such thing as fate...
I like that quote by Neo in matrix -
Morpheus: Do you believe in fate, Neo?and controlling life means making 'choices' all by yourself... isn't it ?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
