With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
To quote (or something to the same effect) the great Neo:
"I don't like the thought of not being in control of my own life."
If destiny is real, I believe my mind would shut down at the horrible thought of it (no offense to any of you, but the thought of never being in control in any way frightens me)... But then again, my mind was destined to shut down, if its true...
I believe a small form of desitiny exists. If you are a "good" person, you are most likely "destined" to do "good" things... If you're "bad," the same thing aplies.... But I think being "good" or "bad" can be temporary, thus ruling this out in short-term.
But I don't believe in fate/destiny other than that little possibility. If it does exist, what's the point in living? You'd only be a drone... being "told" what to do unconsciously... Winding up in the same place, no matter what you do...
I like the thought of having choice.
Example: There is a cup next to me... I choose to pick it up, out of mere random thought. How can I have been destined to have such a random thought to do such a small task? If I had chosen not to pick it up, it was a not-so-random contradiction to the random thougth, thus, the cup would have never been picked up, thus possibly "changing" (the Future isn't certain yet, in my opinion) the outcome that could've been... Or was I destined to change my mind about picking up that cup?
Destiny just doesn't make sense to me...
Excommunicado, I think your posts rival that of Obbiquiets, in terms of interesting-ness.
