Question: Is anything inevitable!?
What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Good question!. On the one hand, everything that comes to pass is inevitable -- what is, is; what will be, will be!. Nothing can be what it is not!. Therefore, everything that has happened was inevitable!.

On the other hand, projecting into the "possible" future is an illusion -- just as much as consideration of "alternative" pasts (where things might have happened differently)!. They are both strictly mental constructs, even though some visions of the future may prove to be more accurate guesses than others!.

That being the case, it is impossible to say with certainty that anything is inevitable, until it has actually mainfested in reality!. So therefore, nothing is inevitable!.

Maybe the best way to sum up the idea is: everything that has happened was inevitable, but nothing that hasn't happened yet is inevitable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
