Outside of books and Jedi films, when people use the phrase "Mr. Smith was destined for that" they are always talking about past events. They are looking back and claiming that they knew all along that Occurence X was going to to happen to Mr. Smith.
Always picking on Smiths ... it's like our destiny ...
There are other problems ... like the
post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy and the problem of self-contradiction:
Message 1: Destiny, I believe, exists. But I also believe strongly that not everyone fulfills their destinies.
So for some people their destiny is to not fulfill their destiny ... which they fulfill by not fulfilling it ...
Enjoy
