they say you cannot follow fate, it controls you. which means that you cannot change things because everything is determined. wherein with faith, we would speak about God, wherein when you choose to have faith in God then you are trusting Him and depends on Him. So, what you are trusting is that which you will allow to be the most important in your desicions.. So my question is.. What should you follow? fate or faith? or rather what you usually follow? thank you!

I would trust my faith in things to get me to where I am going in my live. Things happen by fate though and we cannot do anything about those things.

I'm a believer of a little bit a of both. I believe there are certain events in our lives that are fated to be there and there is no way to avoid them. then there is the faith and free which is how you react to those certain events in your life. So I put it on faith that fate will intertwine with parts of my life.

oh yeah thats so true.. i also remember a friend from community had told us that our life individually had these blueprint. wherein in the end, whatever course you'd taken early in your life, still u will end up in the course of your life that fate had given you. or rather God had given you.. thank you chobby! :) hey the pic is cute. lol

If everything is determined, it would mean that some unjust mechanism is deciding if a person would become a criminal or a law abiding citizen.
Now faith kind'a contradicts that fate part since you need free will to submit your faith.. then again, like everything else, people might also be destined to submit their faith or not at all to begin with.
If everything was predetermined, it wouldn't matter what man does since if he's either going to heaven or hell, it has been predetermined and one might as well commit every crime that he could think of if he's destined to go to hell..
Anyway, what do I usually follow? I really can't say since I sometimes go with faith and then use fate as an excuse whenever things seems to be going wrong.
