Fate ?

/*Too philoshophical stuff...*/

Every time I see around me, I see faces full of worry, a face that is sad, a face that angry, a face that is irritated, a face that is worried. Behind the face that smiles often hides something which is not so apparent. Behind the smiling façade are multitudes of layers of worries, fear or anguish. Many of these worried faces are the ones that rue upon wasted chances, or things not going their way, or things which were never under their control, or things that could have been. People do all kinds of things for it – from cribbing endlessly to desperately seeking divine help for a due/ undue favors to indulging in millions of ifs and buts, while many find solace in fact that it was ‘willed’, and they are not in control of whatever happens to them. Though resigned to fate, yet they are still worried about them.

But that’s life. Life is not always fair. Not everyone gets what he wants. If everyone gets what he wants, the only thing that will have any control over things is chaos, as most of us wish to have most of the things. There are things over which we can’t have control, but there are many others which we can make happen. We often fail to recognize them and wait for things to happen. And then whatever happens is nothing but fate, because in the battle between fate and us, we allow fate to get an upper hand. And when this happens, we lose control of our lives. But there are few, who fight this fate tooth and nail, and they are often the ones who make the difference. It is our call which group we want to belong to, and what kind of impact we want to leave.
