FREE WILL AND DESTINY
Is every aspect of our lives predetermined? Do we have free will? If so, in what regard?
It seems to me clear that certain events in our lives occur without our permission or choice. If we have free will it often is not toward what will occur but how we choose to respond to it.
What will we do with the event’s destined to occur in our lives.
Current to us all is Trumps’ election to office. What will I chose to do with this?
First, I accept the fact. I will live in the reality brought to me. I do not know what the future holds for me. I don’t want to know. I want to live a spontaneous life.
Every aspect of my life leaves open the question, did I bring this about or was it destined to occur. Does it make any difference? Reality must be accepted regardless of causation.
If I live in difficult circumstances, the future seeks to know if I caused them. Regardless of causation, they are here to teach me.
There are no accidental occurrences. Everything Has purpose and meaning. We choose how to respond.
