"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."
Firstly, yes it is a Kung-Fu Panda logic, but leaving that aside if one actually ponders on the validity of this thought, it becomes more obvious about how true it actually is.
I am a strong believer of destiny. I do believe what all we have in store for us has already been written somewhere. We however are not meant to ever know that as in that case the surprise and thrill which life has now would completely die out. If we know what the future holds would it help us? I don't think it would. We would just exist and not live.
Now, with regard to the given topic, I think a good example for it would be trying to forget something. If you try to forget it, you only keep thinking about it. The only way to actually forget about something is to refuse to let that fact take over your life. To not let it define your existence.
Similarly I guess is the case with destiny. Now people do say you make your own destiny, but I think whatever you will do/can do/might do is already written somewhere, in a library perhaps in Greenland's caves where there is a huge record of everyone on Earth. What they will do, and how they will go on to change the world.
Why do I believe in destiny?
I would like to believe that our planet, our Universe was not born out of sheer chaos and confusion. I would like to think there is some defined purpose and logic behind everything. Now be it a 20 year old writing a blog entry at 12 AM, or maybe the fly which keeps on irritating him. It all has a purpose. It all plays a part of a bigger picture. It is not that I believe in insignificance of a single entity, quite contrary to that I believe that all that is to happen has already been written. However there are different roles all of us must essay before we can actually achieve that ultimate stage. I believe that the Universe is defined by us and not the other way round. Our lives have already been written. We now get to savour it.
Truth be told I am not really a pack of sunshine. However I do realize what a gift life is, and the fact that I have it means there has to be some greater purpose I am yet to achieve, which will be clear to me when I am ready for it. This sort of belief can give one a lot of perseverance. It is not just blind hope. Rather should be imbibed as a belief.
In conclusion, having faith that we all have a special role, that we all are present for a higher purpose is something I believe we all should treasure and cherish.
Cheers!
