Things happen


DESTINY VERSUS FREE WILL

Does everything depend on what we make of it, or does everything make us what we are?

Some hold the view that we make things happen, with our thoughts, actions and desires.

Others argue that it is in fact the other way round. Things happen to us, and happen to us on their own. We fatalistically have to accept it as our due.

There has been an age old debate going on - Of the human potential versus the human inability.

The human inability got involved with existence of supremacy of God in some cultures and was ascribed to karma of past births or astrological influence of planetary effects in others.

The other thought was primarily based on the assumption that man is rational. This led to the belief on human potential.

Every person, no matter how noncommittal he might seem and no matter from what wake of life, has one view or the other.
