DEATH and DESTINY
i never believed in destiny. or should i say i only believe that there is only one destiny.
most people equate destiny with the phrase "meant to be." if one ends up or not with someone, it’s either they are meant to be or not meant to be. when one did not get a job he wanted or failed to be accepted in a school he wanted to enter to or simply when things did not turn out the way one expected it to be, a lot would say that it’s because it’s not meant for you, it’s not meant to be or things are not meant to happen the way you want them. it’s not destined to happen that way. well, i say these all suck.
why do i not believe in destiny? because it contradicts free will. i have always argued and strongly believed that whatever we have now, whatever situation we are currently in, whoever is with us or not at this moment, is a product of our choice and not because it was planned to happen. everything is a choice. sounds like matrix but it’s true. what’s the point of making decisions when in the end someone else will decide for you? it’s like asking a puppet what he wants to eat and yet you end up controlling it what it should eat. if God ever wanted us to folow His plan, He would have done it long ago and the world would have been a peaceful place to live in.
i have said in the beginning that i only believe in one destiny…death. i believe that death is destined. it is long ago planned by the Divine or Whoever that on a certain day and time, you will die, i will die, we will all die. even for those who committed suicide. even if they did not commit suicide, they would still die on that day and time. this may sound absurd. but the explanation lies in answering this question: "how can one explain that there are people out there who, after committing suicide for several times, are still alive and breathing?" they chose to die yet they didn’t. why? simple. it’s not yet their time.
this idea of mine makes "taking care of yourself" and saying "take care" useless. whether we put extra precaution when going out or not or watch our health, if it’s not our time, then we won’t die. but does it really put "take care" in vain? no. it just means that there are people who care and are afraid to lose you, even if, granted, they know it’s your time. and that makes life worth living.
take care everyone!
