Yes,We have controlled the death partially with technological & scientific advancement but we don't have control over ourself's birth.I mean AT THIS POINT OF TIME you would have been something else if you were born to some other else/ some where /some how else.

So,do you still think you aren't bound by destiny?

Being born doesn't prove destiny anymore than being able to write your name backwards make you a linguistics expert.

I believe we make our own destiny, and in doing so we allow it to make us.

Granted we can't control our entire lives, I don't buy into the concept of destiny.
Life itself is not written in stone... even if it were, a stone can corrode or be melted in a volcano or smashed or mixed with other minerals... all sorts of stuff.

Neither life nor destiny is written anywhere...should have it been,we must have tracked it by now...

Something that is bound to happen in our life happens any way & we term it as unexpected.

Life is all about experiencing the difference between beliefs & unbelievable.

Hi, I do think I am bound by destiny by the choices I make in life, whether good or bad, the consequences of a choice will have a cause and affect in my life will determine my destiny or things I will experience in the future because of my decisions or choices in life.

However I see some people see it otherwise and believe there is two schools of thought on what is destiny.

1) The things that someone or something will experience the future. So, I think I am bound by my own destiny by what I do, say etc by my choices, actions, in life. However, thinking on this further, not only my decisions and choices in life but other people's too for, we are all in the world together affecting each others' lives. Going further even the universe is involved for tomorrow a meteorite the size of Russia could hit the earth and life's up for all! The universe is a living entity constantly being born and dying (stars, planets..).

2) THe second way I see people see destiny as a power that is believed to control what happens in the future (i.e. their belief system i.e. God, a higher power, thus it is their fate or they are bound to a destiny by the higher power i.e. their God) as to what will happen in their lives.

Destiny is whatever happens to you, be it willy-nilly or otherwise. So I believe we can influence it with the decisions we make.

Hello,Thanks for sharing your views.

The second way is probably for the people who instead of working blames to destiny.

I think everyone is bound by destiny somehow.Many times we plan,we do & we succeed,sometimes we don't succeed despite of hard & smart work,our task remains unaccomplished due to some factors which are not at all in our control,then we often realize power of destiny.

It is also true that if we make ourselves more efficient & more influencing then comparatively less things remain out of our control,but before all the fact comes into picture how & where were you born which is never in your control.

You are welcome. True what you say, "before all the fact comes into picture how & where were you born which is never in your control".
However and then, the question becomes does destiny start from birth onwards or, is pre-destination a notion you assume. And if so, then it would come down to, there are two definitions of destiny that would apply. If it is so, there many topics that fit what comes first, the chicken or the egg discussion.

Are you referring to pre-destination when you posed your topic in relation to where and when a person is born? Or, mainly stating a fact that our births are not in our control or do not pertain to destiny?

"Destiny" requires the existence of someone or something to decide what the "destiny" is going to be for any given individual, etc. (Or -- "destined by who or what?") To "destine" requires a conscious act of decision-making, ergo, you need a "destiner" for any of that to hold up.

I'm not convinced.

As far as I can tell, our birth is decided by biology, which is an entirely different thing.

There is no "Destiny"

You either sit on your @$$ and let life dictate it's self to you...

or you stand the hell up and decide for yourself what your life will be.

None of us were born with a silver spoon in thier mouth. The ones who were sure as hell ain't here.

Life is about making choices and actually following them through....we do the wrong things...we do the right things...Destiny, Fate, Karma....It is all crap. All we can do is to be a good person today and a better person tommorrow.

That should be good enough.

Each person's birth is decided by biology, by someone else's action, not our own doing but, by our parents through biology. What a person cannot control is the destiny of their own birth and the only thing that is not controlled or destined by a person. Everything step after is a person's own destiny by what they do to put it in motion.

Birth is given to each from sexual interaction therefore decided by destiny, biology. This is how he sees it as well if I am not mistaken.

Destiny and being a victim of circumstance could be synonomous in the scope of it all. spock Not? Your decisions or choices do have a role in the scheme of things. Not?
