Do you believe in faith ?

Either way, I'm not really concerned with things like that. Whether or not you're in control of your destiny, people always tend to act like it. The truth or falsity of this metaphysical issue has never been decisive. Live as hard as you can. Your destiny, whether you live or die, fail or succeed, will become apparent soon enough.

I've never been a believer in fate, partly because I don't understand how such terrible things can happen to innocent people "for a reason." Although I do admit that some things are perhaps destined to happen to certain people but rather than that being down to fate I believe that it is more likely to be down to the person themselves. Some people look specifically for things that they could list as fate, for instance, being in the "right place at the right time," based on a random thought in their head about the fact that they have maybe met someone that they've got on with well doing something they don't usually do. "If I hadn't have gone, I would never have met him, it's fate, it has to be". You hear such things from big believers in fate, but if you think about it logically there is a far greater chance of you meeting someone that you don't usually in a new place, it doesn't mean that you were "meant" to meet this person, it just means that you have. It's not so surprising when you think about how many people are in so many different places at different times. That point aside though, the terrible things that happen from day to day, I just can't see how people being killed or dying of a certain illness or being abused etc. can happen "for a reason?" I just don't understand this. I have also noticed that in my past discussions with people about fate the bad things can happen without being avoided but everyone wants to believe in the good. Sadly I don't believe fate can only work one way, if it did then what about the bad things, what do people put them down to? Just pure bad luck? I do admire those of you who have a lot of faith in the ways of the world though , it is a nice thought to have to believe in fate, a little frightening at times too I should imagine, believing that everything has kind of already been "planned" out for you. But to sum it up, I genuinely just can't get my head round the whole fate thing, I believe that it relies on what type of person you are whether or not you can see reasoning behind everything that happens, some have that quality, some don't and I'm one of those who don't.

hello vertu, I strongly believe in Faith and it is true that God made us and it's up to us to mold and be what we want in our life.I believe that I am here in this world for the reason that I have yet to know.I have achieve many things in life,faced many challenges,troubles and problems...become successful and overcome failures and yet I know that I still have somethings to do....things that I am destined to do.....

I believe in faith only when I am unsuccessful of something that I think I might do better than it. Normally I don't believe...because I think how results that we get are based on how much our effort for doing it. Just be positive, and try your best whenever you do anything, sure you will get a good result...your life is in your hand, right?

I have faith in God. But as to the things that will happen in our life, we are to decide. That is the reason why we were given a freedom. Freedom to choose which way we are going through. God is there to guide our ways, to remind us if we are somewhat lost, forgive us if we sinned and lead us back home. That's how great our God is.
