Many of us are unaware that we have ingrained fatalistic beliefs, they happen, not knowing how or what time, and they stay with us for years, we think that it is normal to see reality as we see it, we rarely question these ideas. , which in the end doesn’t seem to make sense.
The main problem is that fatalistic beliefs almost always greatly limit our horizons, they are misconceptions, well camouflaged between real facts, to deceive us by making false conclusions about reality, the worst thing is that they neutralize our will to change to live differently.

“Don’t give in to fatalism. This will lead you to inertia and laziness. Recognize the great powers of thought, do you strive, are you looking for a great destiny for yourself through good thinking?. – Swami Sivananda-
This is one of the fatalistic beliefs that lead us to infantilize relationships, we do so because, wrongly, we start from the idea that in many situations we are passive objects of the actions of others, in this sense the role of victim can be much more attractive than that of responsible.
Thus, many conflicts end in a spiral of violence or harm over the participation of all parties involved, even if the degree of responsibility is different; In addition, it is common for some or all of the actors involved to worry more about “winning. “or assume the role of victim to solve the problem itself.
This is one of the most common fatalistic beliefs. It is to assume that negative experiences come from invisible forces that are beyond our comprehension, our control, and that they have a kind of fixation on us, that is, this force would also reduce our responsibility and place us in the role of victims of chance or destiny. On the other hand, if we can’t control what happens to us, what’s the point of trying?
Again it is assumed here that there is no subject, but object, the person renounces responsibility for his actions and also the freedom to direct his life, explains that everything happens by the action of external forces and, with it, is exempt from looking at his own mistakes.
There are many social messages that encourage “not to get complicated”, “don’t get in trouble”, leave things like this, as if nothing had happened. This often becomes a call to passivity, to conformism.
Worse, not addressing problems many times only complicates them even more. Therefore, a good confrontation over time can prevent a sequence of permanent damage. Deciding not to do anything can be very expensive. You don’t see the problem momentarily. In the long run, however, the consequences of this attitude can be disastrous.
There are those who choose to explain all the evils of the world and their own as a logical consequence of the actions of others, they are not as they should be and, therefore, things do not work in the family, at work, on the planet. . It is one of the fatalistic beliefs that bring very little and, on the other hand, seriously distorts the interpretation of reality.
Once again, the escape from responsibility is present. Sometimes assignments involving others may be true. What is not true is that it is these mistakes or acts of malice that explain all the evils of themselves and others.
Fatalistic beliefs often take root in self-centered hearts, it is precisely self-centeredness that prevents us from questioning our own convictions and creating the possibility that, in the end, we may be wrong, so it is not uncommon to find people frustrated by things not to go exactly as they wish.
This is because they assume there’s only one way to look at it, it’s definitely theirs. When reality contradicts their desires, they are unable to put themselves above that and broaden their perspective, but they deny reality itself, so they never move forward.
All these fatalistic beliefs are very damaging because they help create the idea that it is not us, and our free action, which makes life, in fact, seek to hide that freedom and autonomy that, with responsibility, we all have the capacity. Get.
