It Begins.

Those who believe in fate are ruled by it, and those who don't have no future.

Meaning, if someone believes that they have a very specific purpose, and that purpose will be fulfilled, then the guiding principle in their lives is to adhere to whatever they think that destiny is. If not saying that this is bad or wrong; it is just the nature of destiny. The direct motivation for this idea seems to be security. I am, for the record, not sure where I stand, but I guess I'm leaning towards some small facimile of a fatedriven universe.

Those who do not subscribe to a terminating fate idea take charge and control of their lives, live every moment to the fullest, or at least, they intend to. Once again, I'm not endorsing the idea, in fact I think that it doesn't leave much room for the consideration of improvement or growth.

Either way, I just felt like exploring the ramifications of the ideologies. I'm at least positive that strict adherence to either worldview can only cause selfishness and unin (or possibly just in) tentional harm to others. Let me know what you think.
