"I don't second you on your thoughts", It said.
What? I wondered as I clicked on my PM (personal message) window.
"Why?", I replied to her message not because I wanted to know why a stranger whom I've met a few hours ago doesn't believe in what I think, but because I didn't really have anything to do.
"I think a person is born with his Destiny already written above in heaven somewhere.", She typed in.
"Well,Why do you think so?"
"Well you see there are so many coincidences happening everyday."
"so..", I was skeptical about her thoughts.
"So, Its fate that is driving the universe. Every person is born with a fate of his own and so that's how coincidences happen."
I was still doubtful, so I gave my fingers another little exercise,"But if something is destined to happen then why call it a Coincidence?"
" :-) Because people don't know that it is actually going to happen."
"I still believe that a person is the maker of his own destiny. :-) Think about the Tata's, Birla's and the Ambani's. There was a time when these people weren't rich. They wanted to earn,make things big for themselves and they chose it that ways. So I believe they decided their own fate."
"hmm..."
"If a person wants to get an admission into IIT's or for the matter of fact if he wants to go to Harvard. He can take his time and work hard for it. If he isn't working hard for it then even if a thousand times he says that he wants to be an IITian, it wouldn't suffice."
"Then, think about people who are poor, Don't they have the power to change write their own destiny?"
"Well, They do. But what they really lack are the resources. They don't have money to get good education. The corruption in the country is so high that these people don't get a chance to reveal their talents."
"So, isn't it their destiny? Had they born in a different country, their condition wouldn't have been the same. Don't you think so?"
"You can't really say. There are poor people living in other countries too. Its definitely not their destiny"
So many Questions lingering in her mind had even made me to start to believe that people are born with their destiny, but I didn't want to lose my point and the argument. But by this time, it wasn't just about passing time any more, I was into it. I continued.
"Its basically one's willingness to word hard and get what he desires, that describes a person's fate."
8 minutes and I didn't get any reply from the other side. I thought I had annoyed her.
"Are you there...?" I enquired.
Another 5 minutes just went by. I thought "Gosh, I annoyed that girl. I made a total fool of myself."
*Click*
I closed the PM window thinking about what she must be thinking about me. Believing me to be such an arrogant idiot.
As, I was cursing myself thinking I spoilt somebody's day a window popped.
*Ding-Ding*
It was her. I hastily clicked on the PM window.
"Sorry, I got Disconnected. Actually, we have recently shifted to this new place so everything is bundled up. That's why I keep getting disconnected."
*Sigh* I took a breath of relief and exulted that I had not put this girl into a trauma.
"Where were we?", Another message popped, as I was busy wondering.
"Well, I'm at my place and you were at your's."
"PJ :P", she replied.
"Aah, I'm good at them. ;-)"
"You are so correct, So what about destiny."
This was the time I wanted to forfeit and so I replied, "Actually, I'm in consent with your opinion. I agree that a part of man's destiny is pre-written but he always has an option to change it. Its like a molten wax and one can mould it into any shape he desires." I was exhilarated upon my thoughts.
"Hmm...True. But you need to brush up what you think."
Ow ! That hurt me. I, in a seeping tone replied, "Ok, I hope you are there to guide me."
"Now that I am here, you don't need to worry at all. I gtg now. Dad's home, I need to make him a cup of Tea."
"Ok :-)" Smilingly I replied.
"So, See you later."
"Okay, Bye. See you."
"Bye."
*zzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
And She went offline, leaving me with a thought that is one really born with his destiny. This was the time I actually started believing in that some part of the destiny is Pre-written.
The Blueprint of each and everyone's destiny is already there in the Aura.

Oho..so here goes one more debate over destiny and hardwork..a topic which undoubtly has grave points to add to dis philosophy..!!
ReplyDeleted blogger(handsome dude :P) is correct in his way tht a man is master of his own destiny..
bt i hav a lil different belief dat a man's life is controlled by 90% of hardwork n 10% of luck..!! n tell u tht 10% does hold an important meaning.. if tht 10% is towards ur way , u ll surely b flying high..bt if tht 10% is negative, d man wud rather keep struggling..
i hope d conclusion of d discussion above is d same..
gud to c u hv grown up....well donno wat to comment.....u always act so childish....but ur thots r earthy.....wel again t best part...while reading i cud relate....myself
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in any of this destiny stuff. We are not destined to be a certain way. Our circumstances might place us a notch above or below but we can change that if we believe that we can make that happen. We are what we make of ourselves and not because we were destined to be that way.
ReplyDeleteIts for people to realize that if they want to change their lives for the better, they would have to work for it.
Life is for you to shape. It is yours and you can change it.
Apart from all of that, the thought that things were pre determined gives me a sinking feeling. Not believing in that feels a lot better as I look upon every day as a new day and am excited about it.
