Fate Is Beyond Belief
Fate is the literal sense is a predetermined course of events considered to be beyond human control. Ancient civilizations even belived in the terminalogy of fate. They had believed that one witch spun the thread of life, one witch measured it, and another witch cut it. As time grew on, many people have began to ignore their lives to be beyond their control. Fate simply doesnt exist in idealism of today's world.
First of all, even the ancient warriors felt that their destinies could be altered
depending on how well they fought during battle. An anglo-saxton peom states a line
depicting the views of the scop (the person who wrote the poem). The heroic person in
this line ascends beowulf's point of view, " I fight in the hope that fate may change through bravery". The more courageous a retainer fought during
battle, the greater the chance that he would live to see another day. If the person fled battle, then he would almost seal his death, but if that person fought as diligently as possible, then it were possible to stay alive fot a long while. In the end, it was left up to the person to decided when he or she would perish.
Further more, recient tecnology has mapped the human genome, and scientists have discovered the types of illness that will eventully end a persons life. A single strand of DNA can be sufficient enough from any human being to be anaylized and contains the design of diseases that will occur. So it is already inherited from our anchestors how we will die.
Lastly, I do believe in reliogion and the mere fact that god has a plan for every living person on this earth. We may question his mighty plan, but in the end, it may be praying that will alter it. My prayer helped my sick grandpa to get better again.
