Life: A Philosophy

In life, we are fated to meet our destiny. This destiny is unchanging because we can not predict it. Any attempt to change our destiny is in affect actually creating it. If you attempt to change destiny by making an opposing choice, you are in fact fulfilling your destiny to make that opposing choice. Destiny is based on the choices we make. If we our headed towards destiny, our opinions are unchanging. If we are not yet in the right direction, are opinions will be altered as necessary. Every decision we make influences our destiny, and our destiny in turn influences every decision we make. Every moment in our lives is a guide. This guide leads us to the path that leads us toward our destiny. Everything is set in stone. Control is an illusion, for we control nothing yet everything. We make decisions that create our destiny, but our destiny has already required us to make those choices to meet it. Time is an unending cycle where everything is possible but only one thing will happen. Good and Evil are two sides of the same coin, so Evil can never be destroyed and Good can never overcome Evil. Every force has an opposite. They are equal, they are the same, and they exist to create a whole. Where there is one, there is the other. Destroy one, the other ceases to exist. Without them, life is just an existence. With them, we find our purpose.  We all have a purpose to fulfill, even if that purpose is to not have a purpose. The goal is not to know your purpose, know the future, or to attempt to change the unchangeable. The goal is to know yourself, and to understand why we have made the choices we make. In the end, every choice we have made has lead us here, and us being here will lead us closer to our destiny. The path is in front of us, and it may be difficult, but it is our path, and it is ours alone. Know Thyself and you will know all that is necessary to know.

Self Dependency

In society, dependency is a very important aspect of living, and there is many ways to do it wrong. If your social, you may mostly depend on people. This isn't a bad thing, but people are fallible and mortal beings that from time to time tend to move to another location. If your religious, you may depend on God. I myself used to do this. The issue with that, besides the fact that praying feels like talking to yourself (and if you ask me, it probably is), is that God has the same return rate on prayers as wishing does. The other problem is that like wishing, YOU ARE essentially DOING NOTHING. If you base your life on a system that hopes for things to magically happen on their own, you are going to be disappointed (and without a house, food, clothes, and everything else). If you want something done in life, the best thing to depend on is YOURSELF. You, unlike other people or God/wishing can set priorities, put in extra effort, and actually get a job done. That's what is more revered in life anyway. People don't really care about how your life was handed to you by someone else, but how you put in the effort to make it yourself, because inside, we all want to be self-dependent.
