Can we simply choose what we want or our life choices are part of a higher plan by a master pulling strings?
Every day we have to deal with decisions, from the smallest thing as choosing a shirt colour to big decisions like choosing a university major. The way we approach each decision is a fruit of our past life experiences, but still there is always a question that hang above our heads:
Is there something written for us?
Much of the world's history with supports the idea that our destiny is written can be traced to either religious or sociopolitical roots. For thousands of years the destiny of people was controlled by religious dogmas and codes, social divisions and classes, or even simply by force. This reality cemented the way of thinking that this life is a prelude to a future more rewarding life.
Every one of these "powers", whether political or religious, began as organized movements against whoever was in charge of things. What a better example of rebellious behaviour than Jesus Christ in Roman controlled times?
I smell a hoax...
Some people believe that we are reborn several times and this life is only one step towards a soul enlightenment, and your life here shows how high or low you are in this scale.
But is it not fair to say that this is only a lighter way to build conformity on people?
You're poor and face struggle every day? Don't worry, accept this as an important step towards a better next life.
Or better yet, how come most religions have the concept of hell and heaven if everybody relies on fate at the same time? Is 50% of the world already doomed to hell?
That's why if you stop and think for a while, you will realize that there's no such thing as fate, or written life. Well, at least nothing more than the social aspects of today, like birth, family, money, country and personal characteristics.
So, get up and go smell the roses!
