If i was to do something different other than sit here reading a book, would something different happen? If i was to go jogging and see a lil boy pass by, would things be different? What if i went a 2 minutes late, would i even see the boy? So is there really a fate? Do things really do happen for a reason? It seems like theres many choices in this world, but you choose one. That one makes a difference. But if you chose the other, what other difference would it make? How many possible realities could there be..?

Yanno, that's a really interesting topic. I mean, just to what point in our lives DOES fate play a part? (If you subscribe to fate)..where is the line drawn? Does fate only occur when we make life altering decisions OR is it in play every minute of our lives? Very interesting!

Fate is choices...fate can be destiny...fate can be unexpected, positive and negative consequences. Is fate just another word we use to make excuses? Is the fate we make for ourselves the fate we were destined to have?

How important is fate anyway..b/c if it IS fate, then regardless of choices, destiny etc...we will all end up where we are supposed to be. Or does that even matter?

Hmmm...tons to pontificate on..or would this be wasting time instead of just living...

I think there could be many different realties..heck, I live them all every day..lol. But goodness, the realtiy thing is a whole other issue altogether! Is realtiy just an individuals preception? Do we all share the same reality? LOL..ok, I will shutup now!

LOL lawgoddess, yeah i was with my sister the other day and we were going to the mall for x mas shopping, and then there was this man riding a bicycle passing by but if we were few minutes earlier, we wouldve crashed into him, so it makes me think like, what if she DID speed up, what wouldve happened? Our day wouldve been definetly different, ya know? And the reality thing, i really dont know ROFL! thats something complex, but in a way, since everday we make choices and in the end we have to pick one anyway, but what if we chose the other, something different would happen so its really hard to believe in fate. Sometimes i do think we just make that an excuse, so who knows what couldve happened.. so it makes me think what IS the meaning of life ya know? Maybe to live it, but if we can make choices and there are others, then what is the meaning of it in the end? That in the end you just lived with those choices? ER...lol And like, this is so off topic but lets say i have a husband and hes saying "i love you" and how i make him feel different than anyone else could but what if we never met, wouldnt he be saying the same thing to another girl? BLeh! im not making any sense, ah wells, not like i have the answers.

You know what I find ineresting? You can work and work to try and prepare yourself for something and still everything goes wrong anyway. Then there are times when life just provides for itself. I makes me wonder if somethings really were ment to happen and others not, since no matter how hard you try to do something else, things happen anyway... I don't know if that made any sense... Oh well.

I have a migraine...lol. But as for the hubby senario..true. I think men may be opportunisitc rather than anything else. I think they (men) just dive right in without too much thought and the "I love you's" fly soon enough, but once a routine is established they stop to think and it's only THEN that they either mean it or they don't. Love to hear a guy's opinion on this. And the fate issue too.

According to Merriam-Webster:

(I'm editing out some of the dictionary gibberish most people don't understand)

Fate =

1 : The cause beyond man's control that is held to determine events : DESTINY

2 : LOT, FORTUNE

3 : END, OUTCOME

4 : DISASTER; esp. : DEATH

5 : cap, pl : The three goddesses of classical mythology who determined the course of human life.

And here is "fated"...

Decreed, controlled, or marked by fate.

And finally, "fateful":

1 : IMPORTANT

2 : OMINOUS, PROPHETIC

3 : determined by fate

4 : DEADLY, DESTRUCTIVE
