The meaning of fate depends on your religious viewpoint. I personally think one decides the course your life will take, and also the challenges you will have to overcome in this life. Why we make this decision is a totally different conversation…perhaps to grow as spiritual beings? Whatever the reason, one thing is for certain, we faced the same challenges before and we will keep making the same mistakes until we get it right. I think fate does exist, but only as far as the options that are presented to us…we are in full control of which options we choose…

i think that fate is already determined for us… and just because someone is born into poverty or harsh situations doesn’t mean fate is their punishment. God knows what choices they will make; the choice between good and bad, for instance, by choosing good they can make something of their life…(this is controlling some aspects of your life), by accomplishing this, they may soon understand what their actual purpose is in life.

If, as many believe, that our “earthly existence” is an extension of a greater and immortal spirit, and that our experiences here are meant to be a vehicle for learning and growth of the greater part of us, then starvation, disease, etc and not “punishments”. They are nothing more than experiences that we collect in the process of our spirit’s overall growth. Somewhere along the line we ourselves actively decided the circumstances of our birth, and our free will is responsible for what happens afterwards….
