Destiny ???

What the hell is destiny??? Everything that will happen in future???
Whatever good or bad or ugly that happened??? Is everything prewritten somewhere??? and are we just playing our parts???


Definitely not !!! I dont believe in fate or destiny. The word destiny was framed just to put the blame on . In the psychological point of view, it may give some sort of consolation to people who believe in it. But doesn't it make the attitude of people negative??? We Indians even predict our future with the help of a 'great science', Astrology.


Yeah, I should tell a real life story here... It happened to a man who believed too much in Astrology and stuff. Once he went to see an astrologer for predicting his fortunes/misfortunes. Though the astrologers themselves doesn't know what will happen in their lives, they are pretty much certain about the lives of others. The astrologer took a wooden board, drew some squares , wrote cha, che, chu etc and started playing with small shells over it. After that he started predicting the problems that the man would face in future and its relation with celestial bodies. According to the astrologer, the man was having 'shani' and the so called infection would be there for 12 long years, there weren't any remedies or solutions to avoid it, but some poojas could reduce the effect. The man became pessimistic after that. He started putting the blame on shani and his fate blindly for almost everything that happened in his life. " I am having 'shani' and its not a good time for me, whatever I do, I won't succeed!" , he used to say like this . Bull shit !! You know, after those effing 12 years, his pessimistic attitude vanished. Don't know how people digest astrology and all ,even in this 'information era'. Its almost impossible to change the attitude of the older generation, to erase things which got into their minds during their childhood. Let them continue with that, why should we disturb the mental consolation or whatever they get from it. But my generation, don't you realise its time for a renaissance???


In future when I plan to marry (say an arranged marriage), the horoscopes will be analysed and the percentage match will be found out with the help of Astrologers. Absolutely ridiculous !!!


Its will be quite ironic that even after talking against astrology, I may succumb to the pressure from people who believe in it. I talked this topic with my parents, according to them ;" ok you dont want to refer horoscope, but who will make their daughter marry you without refering that, unless its a love marriage?".. Yeah I was dumbstruck. Anyway the chances for a love marriage seems remote.(destiny? no way). But infact I am very happy to see guys belonging to my generation getting married without the help of horoscopes and stars. [:-)].


Back to the topic destiny again. Who is responsible for the events happening in ones life? The man himself. It is the result of actions or a chain of decisions he chose among lots of alternatives.I have to agree that there is a factor of uncertainty in the events happening in ones life and lots of external factors also play their part.(eg: other humans, pathogens etc.)

PS:
Dear readers please dont mix up destiny and God. I believe in God but not in destiny.
