Definition:
something that unavoidably befalls a person (definition #1, dict.com)
I've talked about fate before but the thought of it makes me contemplate about it a lot.
The concept of fate comforts and confuses me.
a) It's like saying you don't have to do or think much about your life cause something's already planned out for you. So no matter what you do, you'll still end up getting or going through that something.
b) On the other hand, it's also like saying that those who rely on fate are too lazy/unsure/not confident of getting what they really want.
In life, it is good not to take chances cause you'll never know if that same chance will come by again. But it may come in another form or opportunity. And when that happens, you either grab it or you don't. If you don't, then well you're not 'fated' to get it in the first place. Second chances perhaps then serves as an affirmation of what you really want or need.
But sometimes, we should just play it safe by not letting go of that one chance at all.
