Quote:Destiny as I would understand it to be, is to complete what you were born to complete...Such as (for example purposes only even though it's myth) Merlin's destiny was to protect King Aurthur until England was united...Merlin went on to live long after his destiny was fulfilled...I don't so much believe in destiny as I do the fact that I can do certain things to change my life to better my situation, or to make my situation worse...I don't believe that no matter what you do there is a certain fate that you have and you can't change it, nor do I believe everything that happens is a predetermined event, including the decision on what underware I will put on tomorrow morning

If destiny can only be fulfilled upon when one completes the task for which he or she was born, then one cannot be predestined to fail to complete said task (Good news for those holding out hope for Justin Blackmon).  Thus failure becomes a direct result of one's conscious and controllable decisions and actions (Oops, I think I see the problem with Justin now).

 

Good to know you choose your own underwear.  I'm thinking about going without; the unrestricted airflow helps keep everything cool on hot days.
