Fate.

What do you think of fate? Is it something that's absolute? Can you change it?

I want to know. I'm bored.

That's a strange thing to ask when you're bored.

[windsofdaytime]

Why?

[white_mathias]

I wouldn't expect most people to ask heavy questions like that for fun.

But to answer it, I'm not sure. There are somethings you can change and others you can't. I guess fate would depend on those things you can't change.

[windsofdaytime]

What do you think can or can't be changed, then?

[hiccup_ninja]

...I think it depends on how much you want to change your fate. If one has no willpower to do so then nothing will change.

...But I'm just speculating.

[windsofdaytime]

That makes no sense.

[hiccup_ninja]

...I guess it doesn't. But I think what I meant was if you have the desire to change your fate, then fate no longer is absolute. Because people are a far more tangible force than it. So we are stronger than fate, in a way. It all depends on the will of the person in question.

...At least, that's what I beleive. I was able to change my fate.

[windsofdaytime]

You were?

I'm probably not the best person to talk to about this, but for myself? Nothing's absolute. There's no one out there predicting all the choices you make. Sure, stuff happens that you can't help. If fate's got to do with anything, maybe it's your circumstances. But there way you deal with them is up to you.

[windsofdaytime]

That's what you think?

[Ho boy where to even begin with this?]

No, it isn't absolute. You can change your fate. [He has to believe this because there's nothing else for him.]

Why do you say that? Fate is fate, isn't it?

[Text]

[son_of_time]

'Fate' is the merely the most likely outcome.

But then it's just the same as everything else.

[windsofdaytime]

So it's just what people do to you and what they try to make you do?

[causink_trouble]

Dot's all dot's real, yah.

[windsofdaytime]

What do you mean by "head start"?
