Before you start reading, I just wanna ask one question…are you reading it on your free will or was it your destiny to read it???
Yup you are right… that’s the topic of this post… free will v/s destiny…I am a firm believer in free will…I have always believed that its our free will that drive us…that motivate us…that guides us to do things…its all about the free will… I mean who decides if I am gonna write this post!!! Its me…only me…I can continue to write it or I can just stop it here…but again, the question here is who’s gonna read it?? All I can do is write this stuff…that’s where my free will ends… I cant make sure that anyone’s gonna read it…o.k, now just for the sake, let’s assume that I persuade some of my friends to read it…but again I cant make them like it…its pretty uncertain if they’ll like it or they’ll despise it… and this unknown factor is what, I guess, people call destiny or luck… I am an atheist, and its pretty hard for me to believe in something unnatural… I don’t believe that something just happens…there gotta be some reason…and it’s the free will that makes “it” happen… unfortunately I cannot explain that unknown factor…but hell, I am sure there’s some reason behind it… I mean its pretty weird that we all are destined to do something in our life…but wouldn’t that be unfair!!!! If it was destined that somebody will die as a popper or if someone’s destined to be a king…if everything’s pre decided then what is the use of making an attempt or trying to get hold of something…you just need to sit there and it will come to you on its own, if it is in your destiny…I don’t believe that the nature is that unfair… it gives everyone equal chances to achieve their goals…some grab it…some don’t…yes I agree that maybe you’ll have to work harder than your peers to achieve the same things…that they got without any effort (say love, good looks or their father’s inheritance)…but in the end you can have it too, if you work hard…nature will provide you that prize, if you deserve it…now that’s bit ironical for me to speak coz I myself haven’t achieved something big in life…but I know that I haven’t made that effort either…I believe that I have wasted my talents and failed to push myself beyond the limits… there were times when gave up just when I was a step away from victory…and other times I was just sacred of success…I was afraid what that sudden success would do to me…hell, whatever the reason was I never actually used my free will to get what I wanted… I was dependent on luck… I was so sure that one day I would wake up and all my problems would just vanish away like this…I was waiting for a miracle…some kinda omen to show me the way… which obviously wasn’t there…
Maybe right now I am not making any sense to some of you… some of you might be thinking, who cares about free will or destiny…I just wanna live my life, but its one question that has fooled me for a long time now…and I guess I am gonna stick with free will
But still, its pretty hard to explain that “unkown factor”…and the supporters of destiny have their points to put as well… I guess, in the end its all about what you believe in…if it’s the destiny you believe in…or if it’s the free will you believe in…either of them can work for you…only if you believe
But seriously guys, do think about it…was it your free will to read this post or was it just your destiny???
