!.!.!.so true for the past is set in stone and can not be altered!.!.!.in this way, memory is fate and memory is a teacher of fate!.!.!.as far as a "fateful" future!.!.!.I don't really hold too much faith in fate concerning the future!.!.!.it's not been written yet and although we may be predisposition-ed to go down a certain path, it's still our choice to pursue with what we bring for the journeyWww@QuestionHome@Com

In retrospect we can see our fateful journey through our life!.
That is not to say it had to be our fate had we made different choices!. I think what could be called a preordained fate, is written in our DNA!. A lot of the reasons we avoid or are attracted to what we remember are deeply embedded in who we were born to be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very good example!.
And if fate does exist, could it be that there are those who live outside of it and become embittered for having never experienced it!?
Not that there is some entity picking and choosing who is touched by fate but it could be as random and maybe as destructive as a storm!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some do not believe in fate (destiny) at all!. Others claim it to be a powerful force!. When I was in high school, I played tennis at the courts near the bridge & saw little children riding along the path on their bicycles!. When she was a child, my wife would ride her bicycle on the path & see people playing tennis!. We certainly must have seen each other, but we never actually met until years later!. Was this fate or coincidence!? The only thing we can be sure of is that it occurred!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
