Examples Of Destiny, Freewill, And Invocation

Destiny the hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future. In some lives people allow fate to control their outcome in life. Seeking our wyrd can make us change it, if it's not the result we intended. In various cases fate dictates our lives.

People often look to divine interaction for guidance in life; those of religious faith pray and find comfort in a higher power having their best interest. People of faith often rely on their God or other divine subject of worship when making life choices and believe they make the best choice when considering the impact it will have on their faith. Their fate is in the hands of their God and their choices through life determine the outcome God has chosen for them. However, it is also believed that a higher power can predetermine one’s future and the decisions they make in life are all part of a fixed plan they have no control over. Fate has been interpreted differently throughout literature and while there is no clear interpretation of its intention,

In life, ones fate is already set. The choices one makes influence everything else in their life. Often, fate throws unexpected situations at you and one must learn how to interpret the reasoning behind it. Many believers in fate think for every bad situation that occurs a positive one will follow. Fate is something that you can’t control. All actions whether they may be in the past, present, or future occur because they are meant to. Everything happens for a reason, and everyone handles situations differently.

Destiny can be described as a situation like finding your “soulmate” or the love of your life. When really it’s a choice who you love. It’s a choice who your friends are. None of these things happen purely out of destiny. They come from decisions; or choices made. As life goes on, different choices are made and the future becomes more clear. Giving time to decide whether to follow the path you are on or change its

What is our destiny? Are human souls sands in an hourglass, or each a dazzling jewel in a room of wonders? Who writes our destinies? How much of what happens in our lives does one actually control? The truth is that God writes your future, and every action you do and happens to you was prewritten.

The idea of predestination is not one that is so easily grasped. Many people have different ideas and understandings of what predestination is and what it looks like. Predestination is merely the concept that God already knows every decision a person makes before they make it, and that they are following a path laid before them. This is hard for people to accept, especially those who do not believe in any supreme ruler or being. John Boykin, Baylor graduate with his masters in Divinity and professor at all six Southern Baptist Seminary Extension Centers, puts the view

"There are those who say fate is something beyond our authorization. That destiny is not our own, but I know better. Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it." - Merida. Fate and destiny are known to be things that happen to us without us being able to choose or being able to stop it. These things are something that is foreordained for us before we are even born. I believe that we are allowed to choose your own fate and what happens to us. Some people believe that our destiny is chosen for us and that we can't change it; this is not true and we can choose our own fate and or destiny.

Who controls our destiny in life; our path to success? Ourselves, we control our own destiny to a certain limit. In the passage Into the Wild the author Jon Krakauer explains how one man, Chris McCandless, sent his destiny into the wild but died by following his path to fate. His death was the limit I referred to. Chris finds himself hitchhiking to Alaska to get away from his past to start his new journey of life. He was then known as Alexander Supertramp because he even changed his name so no one could find him, not even his parents. Though Chris dies in the end, he still was able to control his own path into the woods. No matter the difficulty of the situation you can always find yourself a new path.

Do we humans have control of our lives destiny or are humans controlled by outside forces? In conclusion, freewill is what determines someone’s destiny because everything you do reflects you and the people around you. There are paths in life and you choose what path you want to go

Predestination, in the dictionary, is said to be "the doctrine that God in consequence of his foreknowledge of all events infallibly guides those who are destined for salvation." Scripture has 2 very good passages for defining what predestination is: Jeremiah 1:5 which says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." God is talking about Jeremiah in this passage and how God chose him before time; he was predestined for his job. Romans 8:28-30 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed

Generally, fate refers to the development of events beyond a person’s control (Aurobindo). As such, a fatalist is a person who believes that whatever happens is, and always was, unavoidable. Moreover, such a person strongly believes that he or she has no control over what happens the next moment, tomorrow, next year, or several years to come. Free will, on the other hand, is formed by the power of sanction (Aurobindo). In other words, it is consent by the spirit that it shall not be bound but that its enjoyment should be bound by time, space, and causality and by the swabhava and the dharma (Aurobindo). To determine whether fate or free will controls human lives, it is important to objectively analyse, synthesizes, and respond to the “critical conversation” that the authors of class readings seem to be engaging with regard to this subject. In connection to this, humanity has been fascinated by fate and free will for a long time. Some philosophers in the Ancient Greek and the Middle Ages believed that free will influenced human destiny while others believed that fate was responsible for what befell mankind.

Many people have wondered whether our lives are destined right when were born or do we have the freewill to choose our own destiny. In my opinion, our lives are driven by free will because things happen based on the choices you choose and they may not be destined to happen. For example, whether you choose to go to school or not it is your free will on whether or not to go. It’s not destiny for you to miss school. Life applies to free will because the choices in life you make focus on what you want the outcome of your future will be and how you want your choices to affect those around you.

This can be seen as even in the year 429 BCE, when Oedipus the King is written, there is the idea that we cannot change our fate and that our life is predestined. This idea can still be clearly seen today in many religions such as Calvinism (carm.org) who believe that God has created a plan for everyone that has ever existed and who ever will exist and whether or not they will go to heaven or hell. If it has been such a prevalent idea throughout history how do we know that this isn’t true and that we actually don’t have any free will and if we do have free will to what extent do we actually have control over what we are meant to do and who we are meant to be. Do we all have a prophecy in this world or is it old stories such as Oedipus the King and others that have implanted the idea of predestination and the lack of free will that is put forward in this book. Is it possible that plays like Oedipus have changed the and formed the way people have thought for centuries and

Some people believe that you have no control over your life, that your life is predetermined and nothing you do will change it. Others believe that everything in life is a result of your own actions, and calling it fate is a way of negating your own responsibility. Many myths deal with this idea of destiny, and if it is possible to alter it. People may not believe that destiny controls anything in our lives, but if it does, can we change it? The protagonists in The Epic of Gilgamesh and Oedipus the King both attempt to change their destiny, but no matter how they change their ways, or how much they fight it, they are unsuccessful.

Are all events predetermined? Does everyone have a prophetic destiny that they must fulfill? If so, who determines their fate? Who—or what—binds them to their fixed ending? Is there really no way to resist? Is fatalism—the theory that all events are preset and inevitable—true? And if it is—is there ever such a thing as free will?
