Fate
Quotes
Destiny: Written in the Stars?
Fate is the predetermined course of events believed to be inevitable and unchangeable, a script already written that shapes our lives regardless of our actions. It's meaningful because contemplating fate forces us to grapple with our own agency and the limits of our control, prompting reflection on purpose, resilience, and the acceptance of life's inherent uncertainties.
