Destiny is human's hardest fear. The unknown is the future and everything unknown can be good or bad, can bring you up or down. Only God knows you destiny; that is true. But is your destiny written? I admit it; it is a very interested topic to discuss. Our destiny is not written for two main reasons: We have all the freedom of living and we are not God's toys.
As humans, we are all creations of God. This concept is mainly clear in both Christianity and Islam scriptures. First, we have the liberty to survive, as we want and to do actions that our body and mind want to do. We are not certain that we will succeed or fail in life. We are supposed to do and be the best; we shouldn't use destiny as an excuse for our bad choices or credit destiny for the good ones (Weib, 2009). Second, according to Angry Weib, we are born as a white paper. All of us are giving through life different paths and different destinations. We have all the freedom to choose a path according to our beliefs: we can choose the good path or the bad one. Choosing the path is choosing the person you want to be and therefore choosing your own destiny. The paths are written but you have the choice to choose which destination you want. No one recognize what we are destined for! It is important to believe that our fortune will find us. Taking the right conduit is essential for our journey to guide us to achievement in life. In addition, there is no doubt that there is a destiny. The destiny means that you will be given the two choices and the choice you made is something you will be punished or rewarded for. So sooner or later, one item is clear; that the choices are written. However, the difference that you can make is when you have to choose, which is the point where ...

...estiny? That is bullshit. God have no right to punish us if he forced us to do bad actions. You choose your life, your acts and your destiny. When you ask for forgiveness, it is your choice and then God reward you too. Our destiny is to be born well by nature, we become bad and evil by choice.
Finally, Islam or Christians, we all believe in Destiny. Believing in destiny is believing in the power of God. However, in the end, each one of us knows that God gave us all the freedom to live, and believing in destiny is just following your heart and following all the commands of God or not. Look inside your heart, you will find your destiny, the future you want for yourself. Maybe some minutes will change your entire life, people will come in and out through your life; that's destiny. Nevertheless, what you will do and the actions you will practice; that is your choice.
In this section the importance of destiny is again reminded to us. In this story the idea of God chooses your destiny and some of us become kings and some become slaves. It doesn’t matter what you do because you can’t change your destiny God has picked out for you.
Does destiny exist? If it does, does it be applicable to everyone? Destiny and fortune might exist. However, these beliefs do belong to all African American people before the Civil Right. “King of the Bingo Game” - Ralph Ellison emphasizes a similar case in his story. In this story, an anonymous African American man believes in "fate and free will". He is determined to win a bingo game. But fate would not let him have his way. Fate appears to take the course from the beginning, as he is breaking. Faced with a predicament of brokenness and a sick spouse, he decides to try his luck at playing a bingo game. No matter what how lucky he is in the bingo game, the fact that he is a black man playing a white’s game automatically makes him become a loser.
Many believe that our choices in life are already made for us and we have no control to what happens to us, although others believe that this life is like an epic journey and we can change our fate at any moment. It´s hard to choose which side you believe in my honest opinion I believe that our lives do not ¨lie in the fate of God¨ as stated by in the Iraq War Post by Faiza Al-Araji however I believe instead that our life is an odyssey, that we must travel through and make important choices by ourselves not by fate. But with many edvidence and claims in both story the question ¨How much in our lives do we actually controls?¨ wanders through our mind.
Throughout history and literature women are often referred to as birds, especially those of domesticated species. Women being referred to as a pet corresponded to the rise of patriarchal society, “… from this point, civilization has seemed to trap women in stereotypes related to nature which are domesticated, like caged birds” (Clark 342). Women had to fit into the roles society formed for them, trapping them in a lifestyle not appealing to all women. In The Awakening, Kate Chopin uses avian symbolism to emphasize Edna’s entrapment, so as to show the stages of Edna’s awakening.
Fate can be defined many different ways. Webster's Dictionary defines fate as a power that supposedly predetermines events. Fate is synonymous to the word destiny, which suggests that events are unavoidable and unchangeable. Whatever happens in life is meant to be and cannot be changed by mankind. In Shakespeare's Macbeth, fate plays an important role in the lives of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Banquo.
During the Great Depression, while the competitors were cutting costs and reusing outdated designs, Kress was expanding and building more elaborate stores than their previous ones. The architecture was referred to as an “emporium” evoking an elegant atmosphere more suited to a fine cloth or furniture store in New York rather than the five & dime stores dotting small town America. Many wonder what the driving force was behind these design decisions, especially during a national time of economic recession. Perhaps simply to outpace the competition, but perhaps more importantly Samuel Kress was an avid art collector and a proponent of public art enhancing a community. In this way the Kress legacy of the brand became more than a retail business, it became a symbol of small town civic pride.
Destiny or fate is a controversially talked about subject that has arised for many years. ‘Destiny is referred to as a predetermined course of events.’ Many people, especially in Shakespearean times, believe that God has a life plan for every individual. A sense of destiny in its oldest human sense is the soldier’s fatalistic image of the ‘bullet that has your name on it’ or the moment when ‘your number comes up’ or a romance that was ‘meant to be.’ Many Greek legends and tales teach the futility or trying to outmanoeuvre an inexorable fate that has been correctly predicted. Today we have people that can ‘predict out future’ whether we nowadays still have the belief in the stars and the ability to read them is another controversial matter. Elizabethan astrology fascinated many prominent Elizabethans. The subject is mentioned in every single one of Shakespeare’s plays. At the time the play Romeo and Juliet was published Robert Burton was the astrologer of the era. In Shakespeare’s plays astrology was often critical to the plots when the actions and events surrounding characters are said to be ‘favoured’ or ‘hindered’ by the stars. In the tempest the main character is said to be based on John Dee, who was a famous astrologer and scholar in the Elizabethan era. Destiny is the idea of necessity ‘everything in the world is conditioned and takes place according to necessity.’ ‘Fatalism is based on the assumption that everything in the world and in peoples lives is predetermined by natural or super natural forces, that God set everything out.’ Destiny also mans ‘dragged by force.’ If Romeo would have stayed in his, not gone to the Capulet’s party, left the party when Capulet saw him would all this of happened? That is the idea of destiny...
The outcome of things depends on both the power of the individual and destiny because they tie in with each other. Things do not just happen, randomly, they happen for a reason only to be seen at the end of things. For example, Jim was raised by his parents in Virginia until they died, upon which his relatives shipped him west to his grandparents. This is part of his journey through life which was predetermined. Jim, as an adult writing, realizes that Destiny makes our decisions and nothing need be worried about because he "did not say my prayers that night [the first night on the farm in Nebraska]: here, I felt, what would be would be." (7) The next big chance Jim takes where his is unsure of what will happen is going to college. Over there he befriends Gaston Cleric, a Classics Instructor. Later on Cleric gets a job at Harvard that "he would like to take me East with him. To my astonishment, gran...
Islam gives Muslims a purpose in life and the tools necessary to fulfill that purpose, just as Christianity gives Christians a purpose in life and the tools necessary to fulfill that purpose.
Fate is non-existent as one's future is based upon their own personal decisions. It is believing
Fate seems to defy humanity at every turn. A man may have his life planned out to the last second, but then some random force intervenes and he dies the second after he has completed his life plan. Some believe in fate, believing that our lives are predetermined from the moment we are born. Other people believe that everything is random, the result of some god rolling the dice in a universal poker game. Still other people believe that each and every person is in total control of his or her destiny, every step of the way. Who is to say which viewpoint is false? Every culture has a unique perception of the role of fate in our lives, and no group has the "right answer," simply a different answer. Taking into consideration the views of other cultures can help an individual refine his personal viewpoint on this inconceivable subject.
Back ground of the book: Revelation “Revelation” is from the Greek word apokalupsis which means, “A disclosure, an unveiling.” The book of Revelation is an unveiling of the Character and program of God. Author Four times the author identifies himself as John (1:1, 4, 9; 22:8) Date and origin The traditional view for the date of revelation is during the reign of Emperor Domitian (A.D. 81-90).
Fate sometimes can be devastating and seemingly unfair. However, in all actuality, fate is just an idea. No one can truly prove that fate exists but no one can prove that it doesn’t either. People do have some control in what goes on in their life. Despite what circumstances may say you can't be or do something, if a person believes in themselves they can be whatever they want. There may be obstacles or things that interfere but when your mind is set like William, nothing can stand in the way of your dreams.
Are our lives only a set out plan controlled by fate? Do our choices and our actions determine our futures? What is the defining factors that affect the course of our existence on Earth? These are all questions that have afflicted society for centuries. As actor William Shatner once said, “The conundrum of free will and destiny has always kept me dangling.” Previously, this debate has been present mainly in the theological world between different religious denominations. However, recently this examination has moved to the secular universe. I am of the belief that we can live our lives with free will over our actions because of my ideas on humanity, my views on life, my understanding of reason, and my belief that there is a Creator.
Spirituality can have many different definitions, depending on who is asked. It can be something as simple as looking for a higher meaning to life, or something so complex that one can base their beliefs, religion and overall life around it. There are several different ways to express one's spirituality; rituals, songs, dances, stories, and writings are all common methods of expression.
