Do you believe some things are fated to happen, no matter what? Or do you believe your actions can change the course of your life? Explain with an example from life.
I do believe that some things are fated to happen. I don’t really have examples from my life, but I believe in fate and destiny and that whole concept. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth however, I think that the witches just put the idea of being king in his head, so he brought it upon himself. Whereas if he left it alone, he might not have. There are countless “what-ifs” that could be asked, and countless scenarios that could have occurred. No one can see what never happened, so it’s impossible to tell.
What about things like astrology, fortune cookies, or Buzzfeed quizzes...do you tend to disregard them as silly or do they hold some truths for you?
I do believe that astrology holds some truth for us to a certain extent. I do not believe that everything is written in the stars for us, but I think that there are different paths that we can take to get certain things. Kind of like in “A Christmas Carol” where the ghost of Christmas future showed Scrooge his future and what it looked like. It wasn’t really pleasant, so he was given the opportunity to change what he did in the present so his future was better. Anyways, I don’t really believe fortune cookies, though they are fun to read and joke about. I think the only thing that is accurate (to a certain extent) is astrology because of the science behind it, though it isn’t exact. Divination is a very wooly subject.
