Author | Topic: Destiny is a reality. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I propose this to be a part of the open debate section.
Destiny, I believe, exists. But I also believe strongly that not everyone fulfills their destinies. Those who do decide to fulfill them, live a rich and meaningful life...

My belief was formed mostly from Western heroes such as Napoleon and Alexander. That, combined with my deep Christian devotion, made me believe that there is more to life than playing video games.

Maybe my words carry more weight than yours? I think it to be true. Therefore, it is likely that I speak the truth.
A destiny that is unfulfilled is not destiny. I claim that it's something else.

I think it is up to God and the person herself to decide or discover what her destiny is. Also, I define Destiny as the fulfillment of our purpose in life. Not as random occurrences.

I disagree completely.
I know that Jesus preached to us, to "let our light shine before others." It was vague, but I think he meant, "Hey, God made you to be something. Become it, or you won't receive salvation. Understood?"

My purpose in life? I don't know yet. I have yet to discover it.
But when I do, I will fulfill it. As far as how I can know, I'll simply trust my instincts. We can all agree here that God gave us a mind that can figure things out. I can pray and say, "Hi God. How are you? I was wondering if you can tell me what my purpose is." But of course, I won't do that. lol It'll be a lot more fun if I figure it out myself. That's what life is about!

By what they regret.

I gave a bad example. I'm sorry.

It's hard for me to define it but I'll try.
I would not call it "purpose," because purpose is too definitive. I wanted a little allure to my words. That's why I chose the word "Destiny" over the measly word "Purpose," even though to me, they're the same. I define destiny as what is bound to happen if we were all aligned with ourselves and the universe. A Taoist monk, a Buddhist monk, a Yogi, and a True Christian will know exactly what I'm talking about. To most people though, it's a very weird and foreign concept, I think.

The very fact that you are asking, "How do I find out what my destiny is," shows youthful ignorance.
It's instinctive, and requires lots of belief not just in God, but in oneself. You have to believe that you are meant for something. If you believe that, you will discover your destiny, or purpose, easily. As far as deciding whether or not you have fulfilled your destiny, you don't. Again, youthful ignorance. It's just something that you feel. It's like asking, "How does one breathe?" or "How do I decide if whether or not I have exhaled oxygen out of my lungs?" Does someone somewhere have a list? Yes. It's God. But that's coming from a Christian's viewpoint. Are they checking it twice? Now you're just being a smartass. Better a smartass than a dumbass, I guess. lol.

This is a whole new debate in and of its own...

If you are the kind of person who does not have regrets, then it's either you're better than everyone else except for the perfect person, or you are, in fact, the perfect person, whether that be Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Dalai Lama, Tom Cruise, Drew Barrymore, Michael Jordan, etc.
It does not mean a thing. It has nothing to do with destiny. It just means that you haven't reflected enough. I simply cannot believe that you are one of the VERY few people in the world who somehow haven't made a mistake. And if you did make a mistake and you did regret it, it means that you have probably sold your soul to the devil. Are you an atheist or something? I am sensing a tremendous lack of humanity from you.

I disagree completely! Again, this is coming from a deep, Christian perspective.
Those who do not fulfill their destinies literally fuck up the world, and they lead extremely miserable lives. Have you met a hobo before who was truly a hobo in mind, body, and soul? I've met them. They are in bliss. That is their destiny, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Oh man, lol.
This is another discussion of it's own. In order for me to let you see where I'm coming from, I first have to have you see GOD. But of course, I'm not a preacher. I'm just me. Um, what I'm trying to say is, we can not engage in any kind of debate of this caliber of topic without being at least the same spiritual beliefs.
