Everything you do and everything that happens to you occurs not through free choices you make but in fact it was written to happen that way. This is what we call fate. It seems like we are born free to choose, but it’s not like that it’s your fate that makes you do what you do. You are reading this article because it is in your fate and if you stop reading it, it’s still written in your fate not to read it any further.

Fate, I believe, is an important force which creates, shapes, guides, rewards, and afflicts human life and is something out of our control. There is something else out there, beyond our imaginations and thoughts, which in effect, sets and controls the rules of our lives, determining most or all things of particular importance to us: good and bad fortune, happiness and sorrow, and above all, our death.

So even when you feel free, you are not as free as you thought you were. You cannot neglect this reality that it’s all pre-written from the time you were born till the time you will die.

While discussing fate, humans have pondered over this mystery question since the start of our conscience; are we free to do whatever we want to do or is it all pre-written? While there might not be a definite and substatiate answer to this question but it did and it has divided intellectuals in two groups; one that accepts the power of fate and one that believes in free will.

This point is crucial. I, as it’s obvious, subscribe to the group who believes in fate. Freedom is an illusion. The fate indeed controls all the rules and determines the good and bad things that happen to us, including our own death.

However, we are free to adopt towards that fate with whatever attitude we choose. In other words, how we confront our fate is our free choice, the way in which we exercise our human freedom.

The important thing is that how we handle whatever is written for us. That’s what would count on the day of judgment. Every phase of humans’ life is a test, a pre-planned and well-prepared test. How you do on a particular test will decide your grades.

We don’t create the tests, we just go through the tests. The tests were prepared long before our birth. The important thing for us is that we make use of our higher intelligence and try do well on each test to get successful.
