Do you believe in destiny or fate?

Tragedies happen all the time, so do 'miracles'

Just pondering how much control we have... Like for instance someone has an accident and ends up profoundly disabled, was that fate? Or chance?

Or a baby is born with a genetic condition?

Or someone born with some form of talent e.g. An amazing singer... was it always destined they'd become famous by it?

When things happen we often comfort with "everything happens for a reason" or "if it's meant to be"

Is it? (In your opinion)

No. "There is no fate but what we make."

I’m not sure tbh. Sometimes I think things do happen for a reason & good can come from bad. Experiences both good & bad can shape people. Although I do think you have to work towards something/put yourself out there to get it. But then bad things happen to good people.

Bad things happen to good people all the time, and vice versa, so no, I don't believe in fate.
