I think I've decided to believe in the whole destiny thing, on a large scale. But only because some things seem unexplainable without it. Like some people who end up in accident after accident, breaking every bone in their body but still surviving against all odds, time and time again causing medical experts to shrug and go "I dunno, must be a miracle", then end up dying by something really weak like... slipping in the shower. I HAVE to think "well, I guess it was supposed to be" when something like that happens.
However, that's it. Sometimes people seem like they're meant to die, or some seem like they're meant to be ridiculously lucky or wealthy. Only the destination, if anything, would be predetermined. And I don't think EVERYONE has a specified fate, either. Like I said, sometimes it just seems to happen. But usually it doesn't. The theory that everything you do is predetermined by some greater force is just... an excuse to not live, I think. When you run out of people to blame for how miserable you are, what's left to blame? Oh yeah, the universe itself. Hey, it's not my fault that I'm a worthless critter! The universe made me this way, I can't do anything about it! I never even wanted to be born!
Yeahh... doesn't it feel good to just rant about something for a while? It does.
Ohyeah, and no one's meant to end up a crack whore. Just considering the idea is really stupid. If you ask me, the "goal" of life is to make something of it. In a perfect world, everyone would be fighting toward a common goal, that ultimately makes life worth living. Everyone does it differently, some are revolutionary and rock the foundations of how things work, opening new paths. Some do politics and business, creating said foundations upon which we build our individual lives. Some save lives, help lives come into existance, prevent death. Some just make life a bit more fun, like artists, musicians, game designers and... um... clowns. To me, the least you can do is go with the flow and just ride along until you die. If nothing else, at least the people around you will have lead a more interesting life thanks to you. However, if you don't aim higher than to be a crack whore (or similar, just an example!), then you'd be making the world a WORSE place for everyone else. Don't do that. Get a haircut, tie your shoes and at least LIVE, if nothing else.
