It is believed everyone on Earth are here for a reason. We live, share and affect others around us in some way at a point in time. Certain people we meet are placed on our path for a specific purpose which we find out at a later time. Some people in life feel a sense of unfulfillment and resentment which leads to unhappiness. Many people believe every life intertwines with one another and certain people are destined to be part of one's journey to help teach lessons or to help establish our character by the decisions we make for our selves and others. The key to inner peace and happiness is to let go of any burdens in your heart. Obstacles in life are a way to challenge people for them to gain. The subject of destiny and purpose of life is found in many contexts. This idea is focused in the novel The Five…
Throughout history, the concept of fate has been a common theme among works of literature and man's thought in general. Does he have the ability to choose his path through life, or is his destiny laid out before him? This question takes on new meaning in modern society, as people try to make their own choices while conforming to the structure of society and its norms. While society, with its customs and laws, seems to limit a person's freedom, the person is still essentially free to make their own choices.…
Fate is something unknown that determines what will happen. It may seem like a coincidence or may feel like an omen, but it is something no person controls for oneself. Fate, to some, may be in the hands of a higher power such as gods or God. For others fate is merely something that happened they were unable to control. Fate can be looked at like a book for every person. In it are all the events that are going to happen in your life. However you use free will to maneuver through these planned events.…
Fate has led many lives of heroes for them to gain courage and honor. They believe in this so they can have something to believe and look upon for the decisions of their lives. In Macbeth he was told his fate and he lived up to it taking his throne as king and then coming to an end by whom fate told. Also in the poem The Pardoners Tale the three drunk men were chasing after death and got caught up in greed which took their lives. Finally in Sir Gawain, Sir Gawain was driven by fate for his life going on a quest to find something to save him from the Green Knight. Fate still has a huge impact on many people…
Fate is defined as the development of events that are beyond control; events predetermined by a “supernatural power”. Destiny, similarly, is defined as a sort of “hidden power” that chooses what will occur in the future. Wyrd is similar to both of these terms in that is has much to do with the course of events in one’s life and what the future has in store for them. However, the ideas of fate and destiny seem to be unstoppable while wyrd seemingly allows individuals to make their own choices knowing that their past and present choices will affect their future. Another contradiction with fate/destiny, is the fact that wyrd permits the alteration of predetermined occurrences through courageous deeds. Unfortunately, this is only permitted if a person is not already doomed (l. 572). If doomed, it is said that no amount of courage could save an individual from the course of events that he has made for himself; in this instance one must just reach acceptance of their future.…

This means that God had planned our lives before we were born.…
Going back, I wish for a future full of love, comfort, warmth, patience, learnings, discoveries and endurance. With all that said, I just wish for a future full of hope. Hope that we will grow together and not separately. I hope that our future would be about us, our family and that we wouldn't need the society to define us; that we'd be secured in each other's love. Hope that the Lord would keep us and that He would bless us as we grow deeper in love. Hope that when we fight, we know that it's because we love each other. That when we fight it's because we want to keep each other’s the best…
Hey, how are you? It’s been how many years again since we met. Remember the day that we introduce our selves to each other? It’s been like 70years ago, and the setting is it’s in our university and first I thought you were a really arrogant guy, because you don’t even say hi or hello when I go in but I realize the reason why such thing happens, because your eye have a grade for like 250. Lol. But that’s one of the coolest thing happened, I met my bestman in our wedding. And I remember when I was like the clown in our room, we laugh and laugh like we have no plates or assignments to do, when our grades is so low we were like stare to each other then laugh so hard. I wonder where our friends were after all this years. I hope they are all good and healthy. By the way how are you and your wife, jaja? I hope you all doing fine. Me? I’m okay after all this years, still strong and awesome. Hahahaha. Anyways, my 50th wedding anniversary was such a successful event, It’s like a family reunion to me, and I’m so thankful 98% of invited didn’t disappoint me, First it was like a big reminiscing party. I remember when we were young and I remember my wife now… It was like just yesterday… I missed everything about the past, how we watch cinemas when we were young… how we solved problems each time… how we forget everything and run while laughing… We were sitting in the middle of the party and we were just staring at each other and wondering if there’s another 50years to spend with each other, but we don’t lose hope… the food was awesome. We ate like there’s no tomorrow and the guests’ even dance for us, many surprises like unexpected guests, such like our old schoolmates, classmates, and our old friends. That’s one of a unbelievable party happened to us and we were so blessed to reach this age and this kind of anniversary. The anniversary were planned by our grandchildren and our sons and daughters, and I’m surprised with the theme because of course I’m also a fine arts student…
Most teenagers do not have a clue about what they want to be when they grow up. Most young adults also do not know where their path is in life. Even some full-blown adults are still trying to figure out their purpose. I was lucky. I knew exactly where I belonged from about the time I was seven up until now, at the decently young age of nineteen. I do not see my path changing anytime soon; in fact, I know it will never change. But, I did not just wake up one day as a child and know what my path was, while that would be impressive. Defining moments in one’s life defines who they are. There were lots of things I experienced in my life that made me realize my purpose, my absolute passion. I had four of these defining moments in my short span of…
