We often feel this strange feeling where chance, the unexpected, marks our path and forces us to define our lives in one way or another, there are those who say that they are choices of destiny, of this force that is above us and that pushes. us to an inevitable succession of events, from which we cannot escape.
Something like this goes beyond simple sync, and it would mean that nothing happens by chance, but by personal determination. What makes some people think this way? After all, are we at the mercy of fate or are we free to choose our own path?
- Is it true that sometimes things happen that surprise us: meeting someone in a certain place and in certain circumstances.
- A coincidence that one day appears unexpectedly.
- A choice that we make without knowing very well why.
- Is it just a coincidence?Or maybe it’s because of a mysterious causality?.
It is true that we must have a very open mind, a way of thinking that frees us and does not create obstacles to all the information and stimuli that surround us, however, the question focuses on the fact that if we accept the existence of destiny, we also assume that much of what happens to us exceeds our understanding and perhaps even our own consciousness. So where are the links to our responsibility?How can we be responsible for something we don’t control?
Are there scientists who claim the existence of an almost obligatory?What is related to inheritance: does the genetics of our parents sometimes determine who we are in many respects, such as character, physical traits, diseases?The social and personal context in which we find ourselves. can also affect us more or less, with a 30% to 40% chance.
But, on the other hand, we also have the indispensable conception of “free will”, where each is conditioned by his own choices, his own personal history and his life, in a society that allows him to rely on a certain trajectory. recognize mistakes, trust others, and face new challenges or projects.
It is as an old Italian writer put it: “Fate does not reign without the secret complicity of instinct and will”; because a person’s life is not woven into the stars, but in our own reality and in the daily life that tests us and the challenges that test us as a person Are we free to set goals and achieve our own achievements?Yes, chance exists and is sometimes so unique that we cannot help but feel this atmosphere of unexplained magic, for as people, as rational as we are, do we still love this unique brushstroke that contains all that is strange and inexplicable?
Our lives, at times, are chaos of victims and illogical facts, but taking the reins of our own destiny, of owning our leadership, will allow us to be more responsible.
