Do you believe in fate? Do you think that everything in the world happens for a reason or is it all just a part of life and good and bad luck?

I do believe some things are just fate, but I also believe that we have controll over some stuff. The best way to describe it would be to say that if you pretty much know what the outcome is if you do something one way, but you don't know what the outcome would be if you did it a different way, then we have some controll over things.

it depends on the situation. I mean, when it's your time to go it's your time. Stuff like that you don't have any controll over.

I don't think that it is a matter of good or bad luck i think that whether you take there life or not has been decided already I think that we all just think that we are in control but we really aren't because no matter what decisions we make we are still going to end up in the same place.

But lets say for instance though say that you wanted to harm a person though you have the choice if you want to take there life or not. If you take that persons life does that person have bad luck or if you spare there life does that mean that they have good luck?

I believe in fate I believe that if something is meant to happen that there is nothing that you can do to change or stop it from happening you can change how or when it happens by doing things in your life that help people etc. but you can't change what is meant for you. I don't believe in good or bad luck.

No I don't think that it is bad luck. I do believe that everyone has a choice but I also believe that no matter what choice you make it is the one you were going to make anyways it is already decided for you and no matter what you decide you will still end up where you are supposed to be.
Say if you are supposed to find the cure for cancer then you will because it is meant to be.

Yeah but don't you believe in choices everyone has the choice to decide on what they are going to do and if they choice to take someones life wouldn't that be bad luck for the person that just lost there life?

you know actually there is nothing like fate and all... it is just some man made properties just to satisfy himself for the wrong outcomes occured due to his doings.. in life we encounter many problems . These problems can be related to puzzles... means you will be having several choices to solve the problem...you will have to choose the right solution that you think ... and in that hurry burry if your choice comes wrong ,you just satisfy yourself by saying its all my fate which lead me to think like that at that moment.. but in a way believing in fate can just create a peaceful mind in us which is i think the more important thing needed...

Hi david2005,
I do believe in fate. In my opinion everything happens according to the fate only. Luck is also part of fate only. Otherwise why should some people call it as bad and good. Some times even when people try for a thing very sincerely, they don't get things get done their way - and it is because of fate. Whatever hard work one do, if he wants to be successful, Luck(part of fate) should favour him. Fate is in other words called responsibility and no one can escape from it because every one will have a responsibility of some kind.
Good Luck.

I think that if someone had that happen to them maybe it was their time. like i said in my post everything happens for a reason and you can't stop something that is meant to be maybe by that on person losing their life it saved many others lives...

What about say if someone is working at a bank and it gets robbed and they get killed is that fate or just bad luck of being at the wrong place at the right time?

I do think that good and bad things happen to people (sometimes it seems like for no reason) but I think it the end there is some reasoning behind it. I don't really think many people are Lucky are Unlucky. Most of the time its choices that we make (conscious or unconscious) that determine the things that happen to us.

I believe in fate and I also believe that everything happens for a reason. The saying "what goes around comes around" is so true. I treat others as I wish to be treated and I expect the same of others.

Honestly, I partly believe in fate.. but I see a lot of things that go against my theory, but then, a lot of peculiar coincidences that are just too good to be true.
I dont know. I do think that luck is real though, which would kind of go with fate.. haha, so I KIND OF believe in fate regardless :|
