    well i was the first to be tricked.
    This isn't the land of opportunity, it's the land of competition.

    sometimes it proves itself. Other times (just ask any gambler), it don't.

    Being 42, I've had lots of years and opportunities to look back on lots of decisions and mistakes I've made.

    I can't tell you how many of those decisions and mistakes ended up landing me in bigger, better situations. I have been very lucky. I suppose some could say blessed.

    I don't have a pot to piss in without a paycheck, but I've had so many "near misses" in life where I could've ended up with so much less. By making a few, small, right moves, I've ended up progressing into a life I am really starting to like.

    On the other hand, I've ended up in a world I'm really starting to worry about. Destiny has played a hand in world politics to the point where we all should, by now, know where we went wrong, but we still end up leaving it to "The Gods" or whatever power that be.

    Destiny can be changed, I believe that. But it has to be changed in the right way, for the right reasons. Karma sums it all up, for me. What goes around, comes around. Do wrong, and you are destined to be wrong. Do right, and the right things are destined to happen.

    how has destiny played a part?

    I've been destined to survive when in a lot of cases I might not have survived. Does that make sense?

    Um, okay...I've been in the right place at the right time, many a time. Maybe it's just luck instead?

    When you find the right job, the right boss, the right life partner/spouse, through all sorts of crazy twists and turns, it feels "destined".

    Yet, now when I think of the word Destiny, it makes me feel that only a few people on this earth might've really been touched by it.

    Reagan, for one. He was the right President at the right time, and he played a major role in the end of the Cold War. Couldn't some say he was destined? Perhaps if he hadn't gone to Hollywood, he would've ended up mowing lawns for a living?

    Let me try again (I told you this would be hard). To me, destiny involves machinations in the "stars", in the future, a major plan already laid out. We can choose to do things, but sometimes we follow -- for lack of a better term -- gut instincts. Who is to say those instincts are not destiny's hand, prodding us?

    and one could say that the end of the cold war came about because of the collapse of a system that couldn't sustain itself in that particular poltical/economic climate. that ronald reagan had nothing to do with it.


    does someone who believes in destiny think that everything is structured towards some end? does this require a faith of sorts?
