The ultimate debate topic! Probably as old as the war between good and evil, more talked about than the last Oscar’s and an answer as sought after as the Holy Grail.
So I pose the question: In a battle between Freewill and Destiny, who would win?
My answer . . . well it’s more of a thought, rather than an ‘answer’ and it goes something like this...
First the definitions.
Destiny:
1. The inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is destined; one's lot.
2. A predetermined course of events considered as something beyond human power or control
Freewill:
1. Done of one's own accord; voluntary.
Destiny, by default, would be the winner because as derived from the original word, Destination, it is the conclusion/purpose/objective of a journey. Why, you ask? Well because if destiny is the eventual end then freewill is the path towards that eventual objective/end.
We as humans wish to have the ability to manage or maneuver our choices as our own devices however its time to fess up people. Its already pre-ordained, its already written and though you chose between the latte or the cappuccino or the blue shirt versus the white, that ‘final’ decision of yours which you felt (and rightly so) oh so good about was already preordained to be that way anyway.
So here’s my two bits of wisdom: don’t waste time in debating or finding the eventual ‘winner’ of this debate, they are one and the same thing and its just a loop out there to keep your grey matter buzzing so we can feel like we really pondered upon some knowledge that was just not out there or that ‘aha’ moment when you reach a particular deduction.
Hey, I just noticed something! Destiny, Definition, Default, Derived, Destination, Devices, Decision, Devices, Debate and Deduction . . . huh? Do you see the pattern I am getting at?
I just had my ‘Aha’ moment. Let me know when you’ve had yours!
