There are many people who ask themselves the question of whether fate exists. We all want a change for the better, and we want to be healthy, happy and rich. However, one can often hear expressions like: "It is written in the family!" or "It was destined, nowhere to go!". Hence the following questions arise: "What is fate?" "Can I change or select it?" This topic is dedicated to this publication.
In the world there are many different religious, esoteric teachings, representatives of each of which will offer us their own answers. At the same time, atheists will say that these are all prejudices, and each person creates his own life. If we summarize all the answers, then in any case it turns out that fate is a certain force that, in one way or another, affects and controls the life of a person, family or entire nations.
Atheistic doctrines do not contradict this statement either. If a person manages his life, then he makes certain efforts to this management.
But what is fate from the point of view of religion? Christian and Muslim traditions imply a predestination of life for each person. And yet, this is not entirely true, that is, an incomplete truth. Repeatedly, both in the Old and New Testaments, one can read that a person is offered a choice.
For example, in the book of Deuteronomy (chapter 28), as well as in other chapters, it is written that God or His prophets offer people the choice between good and evil. At the same time, choosing the good and fulfilling the recommendations recorded in the Holy Book, people are guaranteed to live in blessing. They are promised success in all areas of life, including health, wealth and all prosperity. On the contrary, if you commit evil deeds, then an invisible force will bring damnations into a person’s life: weakness, illness, various kinds of failures.
Usually people try to do good, but all to one degree or another commit evil acts. Therefore, it turns out that life is either filled with blessings, or so-called “black stripes” appear in it. Accordingly, to the question of what fate is, the Bible gives the following answer: it is really something destined, but there are many options for development. It turns out almost like in a fairy tale in which a good fellow sees three roads in front of him and makes a choice between them. There are a great many such life roads.
If a person chooses one way or another, while losing something, is it possible to claim that his fate is a punishment? Of course not, but it’s already good that he begins to think about what fate is. In any case, you can only choose and change your life. The fate of our friends and relatives depends on us in many ways, but we should not directly try to influence their life choices, and this is not useful. If we prosper, then our family will be in blessing, and this statement is difficult to dispute.
If we consider the topic in the light of religion, esotericism and / or psychology, then this will be so - not only one person who does good deeds flourishes, but his whole house (close people living with him). Another thing is that we want to change our lives, but we don’t know how. Many of us claim that they always do only good, but receive evil in return. It just can't be. For example, it may seem to someone that he is doing a good deed by interfering in the lives of other people. Sometimes such an intervention can be harsh and rude. If you offend people, considering yourself a benefactor, it seems that something is wrong with your virtues.
Even if you look from an atheistic position, setting the world around you, the individual is unlikely to be happy. And in the bible psalms it is written that if a person wants to live happily ever after, he must seek peace and follow it.
Each person on Earth also has a mission, to which are attached talents, potentials for its fulfillment. You just need to find out your life purpose and try to realize your creative potentials. Then your fate will become happy, life interesting and eventful. We wish you all blessings!
