Do YOU belive there is such a thing as Fate? Does everything happen for a reason, is it ment to be? Or is it just a series of good coincidences?
Guess it depends a lot of your view of life, and all the views and oppinions you have. I think that it is a nice thought to think that something was ment to be, but it is likely that it is just a coincidence that it happened. Im not really sure whether i belive in Fate or not... I guess i do to a certain extent.
What is everyones oppinion on this?

yes I do believe in fate and everything that happens is with a reason, simple example many a times you are going to office and you forget something and hen you realize the importance of tht item to you till then you are not worried about that article.
It is just a series of coincidence that you experience which everyone calls as FATE

Yep, like "You don't know what you got till it's gone", im a big beliver in that. People don't appreciate the good things they have in life (im also guilty of that i feel) maybe its just human nature.
To everyone who has commented so far:
Wow loads of comments, thanks for all the responses! Decided to write one comment to everyone because there was loads i havent yet commented on, and some saying quite similar things. So thought to save saying the same thing over and over i would just write one!
Anyway, all the comments where great. Quite mixed views, but everyone is entitled to their own oppinion! Everyone seemed to have very good points, and good reasons for them! And i enjoyed reading them all, so thank you to everyone!

Fate to me means that we accept our limitation as ordinary peoples or as creature, the fact is that our life full of struggles and also competitions even when we still as SPERMATOZOID we have to fight to get the egg to continue this life, struggling among million, millions sperm. then after grow up as human we have to fight for job, even when we sit at basic school we have to strife to pass for the next grade. Sometime we succes and fail in life, win or loose at our struggles, we dont know where did words FATE come but I think it accepted also by religions ; accepting our fate means accepting our life as what it is and avoid FRUSTRATION which has bad influences to peoples. agree ? what do you thing ?

Yep i agree, I think we are constantly fighting, mainly a losing battle lol. I guess i'm just undecided what i feel "Fate" means. From reading all the comments ive got i think many people have different veiws on what fate really is. But yeah, i definatly think that we have to accept the things we can't do, but at the same time strive to accomplish things we feel we should be able to achieve. I guess "Never give up without a fight" is a good saying for most situations. Fight for what you belive in.

I don't believe in fate what I do believe is the purpose of our live, that everything happens for a reason. Our life depends on the choices that we make in our daily living. God gave us the free will to make choice and it is up to us whether we make it right or wrong.

My opinion on this is mixed. I believe that everyone is fated to do something. But because no one knows what that fate is, it does not change what you do day to day. You make your own choices because you don't know what you are fated to do. I think it is just coincidences. No one makes choices for us (at least it seems like we make our own choices). We do what we do because of the journey to the goal, not the goal.
What if I decide to run around town for an hour to get healthy? Am I fated to get healthy? Or if it didn't work and I continue to get fatter? Was I meant to be fat? I don't believe so. I believe that things happen for a reason and that reason can be explained. For instance, maybe in my example I began to overeat? Was I meant to overeat? Of course not! I did it of my own will.

Yes, I believe in luck and I also believe in fate.It is hard to explain, but I believe in luck. To me everything happens for a reason and sometimes we are powerless to prevent or change it.To lose a Job,Girl/-Boyfriend or to fail to pass an exam are of cause unhappy things,but there is always a reason for.If all these things are happened at the same time,then you have to think about what's wrong with you and do it better.We have to create the situations that will allow the opportunity for real luck to occur

No, the future does not drag the present along. Fate is for the weak minded

I don't belive in Fate. I think our lives are the way we make them. Every action has its efect (good or bad). We control our lives directly and the ones around us indirectly.
