Fate…

It’s comes to my attention that the idea of fate is probably the coolest, and yet, really not cool concept we humans have come up with. All our destiny’s tied up alongside each other in an unfathomable way that could, potentially, one day be understood to the point of foresight (who knows), but that would mean we would never really have choice when it came to the decisions in life.
I think most people would choose freedom of choice, specifically because we prize it and the culture and symbolism that has grown around it, I know I probably would.
I wonder which way we’d be better off though. Free will and the choice to do whatever pleasures us, or fate, and a world where nothing you ever do is really because you chose to do it.
Although is fate really so restricting, or is a better definition more to do with the cause and effect we see in our everyday lives. You walk into a river, the water parts around you. You walk across the street, you get to the other side. You text while driving, you crash and die (last ones for the journalist out there, who so love the gritty truth…).
Fates one of those ideas that cropped up along the way and seriously changed sh!@. Consider seriously how many concepts we live by have been effected by it. Through understanding fate, disciplines like maths and science could be conceptualised, 1+1=2 therefore, 1+2 must =3, we see heat in this experiment so there must be a connecting factor we don’t understand fully. Religion would be entirely different, would it even exist? No fate, means no godly plan right? And if no plan can be put in place there must be nothing there with divine power to put it there.
It’s a pretty complex stem of our insight into the world around us, one that can reflect a personality and change how you think. Pretty cool right? But kinda not.
