Do you believe in fate?

When somebody dies in your family or so, many people say: "It was meant to be" or "He had to go" and things related. Buy, what about you? Do you think that everything that we will do in the future is "already written"? Or that everything is in constant change, and you're the owner of your own future? Or, then, another opinion?

Friend,every worldly phenomenon or event occurs according to a natural law called "law of Karma" or "law of cause and effect". One's future events and experiences are the result of the actions/deeds performed by him/herin the past,and we term it as fate.It is the present that creates one's future.We are wholly responsible for our happy or unhappy events that we will meet in our future days to come.This is my personal belief. Have a nice day!!

Hello, narayan2006. Yeah, I totally forgot to mention about "the law of Karma".. The people that believe in the "future made by it's own hands" also do believe in Karma, 'cause they are very linked. ^^ Thanks for posting!

Hello! I do believe in destiny or fate.It is the result of my previous birth I am enjoying here now may be bad may be good.what is written in fate that must come to pass.For my good works I will rewarded and on the other hand for my bad works I will be punished.it is inevitable.So it is said in all religious books that we must do good works in this life to gain the blessings of God.thanx.

I do believe in destiny and fate. I believe that things do happen for a reason. I didn't always think that but since I have gotten a little older I have more experience in life and I feel that certain things are meant to be that way. In a sense I do feel that the future is written but then again we can also change things into the way we want them to be with a little encouragement. I do believe that we could own our own future.
