Lately, Ive been having a tough time coming up with an answer to the daily occurrences happening in our everyday lives. In other words, why do aimless situations or arbitrary events happen to me as opposed to the situations and events that occur towards other individuals? Is it fate? Inborn luck? Coincidence? Karma? I believe the answer to my question is found in one of the four nouns said above, and can be argued from many different perspectives. (I would put this in to a simpler description so its a little easier to understand, but Im sure the people who do read what I have to say come from the higher intelligence, so I assume you know what I mean). I want to first start out by saying the reason behind talking about such a topic is because Ive been having the absolute shittiest luck any man can have lately. Nothing seems to be going my way right now. Two times this year Ive needed less than 5 points from a defensive player in fantasy on MNF, and one of these weeks I had both a defensive player and kicker. I was pretty much guaranteed the W and of course, I lose both weeks and struggle profusely to not punch several holes in my walls, TV, and computer screen. Also I got in a minor car accident avoiding a serious accident only to have the jack ass flee the scene and run away from me (his fault). I could go on and on and on about events similar to these (always being in traffic when I have to be somewhere important, running through the grass to catch the bus to find yourself stepping in a pile of mud, getting towed after parking somewhere for a few minutes, you know all that bull shit). My whole life Ive always gone back in forth between fate and karma, and after watching a select few of TV shows and doing other such things that exploit my thoughts, Ive really wanted to get to the bottom of this kind of shit. Karma - the sum of a persons actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences. Ill admit it, Ive been a fake believer in Karma my whole life. A fake believer can be defined as being the one to do good things not from the heart but just for the fact that it might come around to help you sometime. As bad as I want to believe what goes around comes around, Ill be the first to say, thats bullshit. If what goes around comes around Id be laying down on millions of dollars on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean right now. That or living in LA chillen with Danny McBride, Seth Rogan, that kind of crew. Although I say its BS, I dont necessarily disagree with all of the saying. I recently got a ride from an African all the way on the other side of town just because he happened to drive by me with his window down. I had asked for a ride and he was nice enough to give me one. That started to open my eyes a little bit. The fact that a random African I could hardly communicate with because of accent/language differences picked me up and went out of his way to drop me off really urged me to start doing good things for other people. Im not going to say I dont already do this but maybe going out of my way to do these things is more ideal. This most certainly can define the term what goes around comes around from a different perspective, but I dont really think it applies to all occurrences in life. Fate - the development of events beyond a persons control. I hope I can speak for everyone when I say that the people who believe in fate or have interest in the concept of fate are ones of expanded creativity and reasoning. Ive always wanted to argue between fate and wrong place wrong time, but if you think about it, that is the more simplistic, indirect definition of fate. I am really becoming a strong believer in fate. I really can not tell you why this is coming about, but as a logical thinker the more and more I look at it, the only conclusion I come up with is, Shits just gonna happen to you throughout life, theres no avoiding it. I think the only answer is fate for many reasons. The things life throws at you you can not control. What you can control is how you take and react to these events. Thats what makes people so differently from one another. I think fate inedibly is the answer to such a unique, diverse, one-of-a-kind society. I dont think most believe in fate, but all you honestly have to do is sit down and think about it, and I think youll be convinced.
