Still, I don't believe in destiny.
Really?? Even after what I just posted? What are the chances of that happening? One in a billion? ten billion? A trillion?
Well perhaps is cause desteny means that something is going to happen to everyone of us even if we try to avoid it, is like we can control our lifes and that sucks?
On the other hand I always wonder if theres such thing as destiny and we invented the time travel we can prevent WWII and we changed destiny for those poor jews??
The present would change if we change the past.
Whether or not the change would be good or bad, is debatable.

Exactly but that means that we can change everything and there's no such thing as destiny, get it?

Of course. Then again, we don't have time travel yet, so we don't know if what I said was true... if destiny does exist, something would happen to prevent our interference... i.e. someone would kill us when we get back to 1938...
I don't really argue one way or another, because at the moment we can't prove either, so it's irrelevant.

Is there such a thing as destiny? Well, I don't believe that it is unavoidable.
Destiny in love may be that you even meet that person in the first place; you don't have to pursue it any further than you want to. You can walk away tommorow, and she isn't going to be in your life the day after just because it is pre-ordained.
There is not going to be some kind of divine intervention, the future is not mapped out in a way that regardless of if you turn left or right today you're going to kill a man tommorow.
We do create our own destiny, or at the very least we get to choose it. Of course everything that happens around you is going to have an affect on it, that is the form that any supposed inteference by what could be interpreted as destiny is going to take after all. You'll be affected in your own way. It isn't going to walk the road for you, as far as I can see from here.
You can walk away from destiny.
And again,
'If coincidence is just coincidence, why does it feel so contrived?'

I believe in destiny to a certain extent. There has to be a significance in the timing of occurrences.

Hmm... If you believe that everything that happens has a cause (name two things that don't), then that cause itself has a cause, and we find ourselves in a situation where all of our actions and choices are determined by pre-existing conditions. Therefore, free will is nothing but illusion and all of our actions have been determined by circumstances that began long ago.
Not sure if I believe this myself, but what can you do?
Peace.

The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.
