People, the lame people, us, of course if you believe that you are in the world for some reason, and have been put here by an entity, would agree with me, that when you were created, it'd not be tough for that entity to create a path for you in life. The path is all created, one not being able to see it or not is again, a different thing. Say, you'd be destined to become a painter in your life, you realise that you are good with the brush after doing PhD. Stupid, I know, but its hypothetical, or come to think of it, quite rarely possible too. You get this urge to put everything you did all this long, and curse yourself for not recognising the hidden potency in your own self. You'll get conflicting thoughts that would put a Gemini to shame. More so, when you've a family to support and you are the only source of income. Do you think you can paint your way to earn bread? Agreed that you'd be happier doing what you wanna do, but such things look good on paper. Is this God's way of telling that, 'See, I gave you a path, but my negative counterpart asked you to not go there, I can't do anything', so, is God an entity that gives you good and bad both at the most vulnerable times?
There would be this section of people not agreeing with me by now, and shaking their heads in reluctance. Such people would like to tell, that they create their own destiny. I'd say, its just that these people realise early in life what they can do, have a clear view of how it'd shape up later on in life. Now, again, does that mean that they are entering a new area and creating a destiny for themselves or did they just go into their 'pre destined path' and bragging about it big time, just because they beat others to it?
I don't know. Its complicated. All I believe is that, the light is already glowing in one path, and it'd take 359 or lesser angles to probably see it and identify it with one self. :)

Bullshit! Existence of god or the devil is a belief and a strong one influenced by certain aspects of society. You might not like what u do, but it might still be ur destiny. In your words, its not necessary that your destiny chosed by god be something u like. On the other hand, u might be doing what u like and still have a disastrous life. So, where do u draw t line? I personally think this. "There is some free energy in the world which creates situations or opportunities for everybody, every single moment. Now, its the individuals maturity or think-ability that determines his take on the opportunity. This decision could either make or mar a lot of things, but its still HIS decision!" Hence, every individual creates his own destiny, but its the free energy that acts as the catalyst for whatever be the destiny.
"The path is all created, one not being able to see it or not is again, a different thing. Say, you'd be destined to become a painter in your life, you realise that you are good with the brush after doing PhD."
I don't get it - if you are destined to be a painter, aren't you also destined to do a PhD, in this scenario? Though you believe in destiny, you have given the individual paths to choose from. In other words, you have given the individual the option to choose between a fixed number of predestined paths, instead of the "Anyone can do anything" philosophy. I hope I have followed you correctly till here.
Now if this is the case, you imply that human beings have free will, but within hte confines of their predestined paths. Then, what is the driving force for the individual to make a decision? What enables him to make the choice between paths?
Scientifically speaking, assuming the Universe to be a closed system, isn't all activity inside it predictable through time? In which case, each and every one of our actions (and everything that happens around us) is a consequence of some other event which was in turn a consequence of other events, and so on.
By this argument, I am led to believe one of three possibilities.
1. EVERYTHING is predestined.
2. The Universe is not a closed system, and there is concious control, that must be external to the it. This could be God, or perhaps our own consciences, operating ON the Universe.
3. Our theory of closed systems needs reworking.
Personally I'd like to think that everthing is written in stone and choice is an illusion, as are life and death.

Your comment, like the post implies that God's will prevails only on paths and lives. Why cannot peoples' likes and dislikes also be a product of destiny?
