Accepting fate the way it is

[factseeker88]

One of the most important quest in our lives is being able to accept fate the way it is, not the way we want it to be, no matter how painful it is, Whatever is fated to happen, will happen

“Fate leads him who follows it, drags him who resists.” Plutarch

“This moment is your life.” Omar Khayyam

What a great reason to not try doing anything.

But what if your fate is to be a person who cannot accept your fate? If you accept that you're person who can't accept it, then how can you accept it unless you don't? ... hmm...

Accepting the unfolding of life is different from accepting a stone set destiny because life is spontaneous and flourishes in a variety of ways.

 

[McBell]

"The future has not been written.
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."

 

[Straw Dog]

The unfolding of life is participatory.

Not at all. By doing stuff one sets himself on the road to discovery. What would suck is knowing how everything ends; like being an omniscient god.

More like the unfolding a long chain of linked cause and effect events starting with birth and ending when we die. Your response to my post, for example, was the next step of our long, unpredictable, inevitable journey.

Fate? Well, then again, a thread created by the writer of the OP IS likely fated to end in a train-wreck.

As I see it, when we live in the moment, fate no longer a reality, what happens to the mind body organism has nothing to do with our true being or consciousness, its neither here or there, it no longer holds us to its prison, as also the concept of recantation.

I don't believe in fate.

Fate is not about you or me. It's about happenings we have no control over.

I like this sentence.
You have some control over what happens. Not completely on control, nor completely without control.
