Chance Vs Destiny!!

A WORD OF CAUTION: People who have faith in God, pls dont read this stuff.. Not meant for u!! U wont understand!!

Life is supposed to be a fun filled n thrilling experience with full of surprises. And how does life become so thrilling and adventurous? I mean how is life full of uncertainty? A small decision that u take at some point of time in ur early life may affect ur future to a huge extent, either on a positive side or on the negative side! So how does this series and successions of events that occurs one after the other help in shaping up the future of an individual, a group or society? On what basis does these actions influence us?

It is true that all our actions have a cumulative effect on the future of ourselves and all other matter in the universe. So what is the cause and reason for such domino effect? Is it just random happenings that get interconnected by pure chance to form our future or is it all well defined and pre-determined course of actions?

Let us consider that everything occurs only and purely by chance. Then it means that a series of haphazard and completely unconnected events occurred throughout the universe, gets connected randomly and such series of cumulative events overlapped together and finally resulted in the present state of the universe, world, life, you , me and everything around us. So everything happened just by chance!! Let this sort of thinking be called 'The Chance Effect'

The next idea is that there is some sort of supreme soul or power or an ego present in the entire universe which has already preplanned everything which has to happen at every point of time and moves towards it as we speak. Or we can take that every smallest known particle present (lets name it 'The G particle') has a conscience or a unique mind of its own which is connected to every other such similar G particle and such particles has a sense or purpose of its own. Hence all the G particles strive and preplan every action which has to take place and go for it. So ultimately the final idea is that every happening taking place around us and the present state of the universe, world, life, you and me are all preplanned!! Let this sort of thinking be called 'The Destiny Effect'

So how does these two ideas have to do anything with our day to day life??? Well... Here i explain the implications of each of the idea to our lives.

According to the Chance Effect every action in our day to day lives lead to further random series of events. And the end point is?? Nothing... It helps in achieving no cause at all, however significant and important ur work is towards development of lifeform, humans or the earth itself. So why do we waste our lives in the trivial matters of the earth? Whatever we achieve and however important it is, finally it will get wiped off from the earth or solar system along with the lifeforms present when after some million years the sun blows up!

But according to the destiny effect the supreme soul or the G particle has already mapped out every single action which is done, must be done and will be done by humans and all of the events that has occurred so far in the universe. At every moment of the Universe, the supreme force tries and aims to reach for the final climactic event which is its goal. It tries to channel every particle in the universe for the completion of its goal. Hence every action, however significant or insignificant it seems to be contributes to the same amount towards the climax for the universe, including all the works done by the humans in earth. So we all are puppets of the grand design of the supreme force and each of our actions are already preplanned.

Thus we have two theories to embrace now! Either to choose the chance effect and accept the idea that our life, work and presence in this world is useless and insignificant or to choose the destiny effect and be glad for contributing towards the grand design of the supreme force. If we do choose the chance effect, then naturally it means that we accept the fact that all our actions and our life has no reason or meaning and thereby it is better to renounce everything and lead a simple, bland life. But if we persist on sticking to the destiny effect, then every simple action of every living being and particles present in the universe contribute to the same amount towards the universal goal! So however insignificant a person's job or work may be he can be glad for contributing a significant part towards the goal and continue his work with pride. Similarly a person with great power or responsibility should not boast upon his importance for he must understand the fact that he is just a puppet of the supreme force and he too contributes the same amount towards the goal just as every single being!!

P.S: The ideas and thoughts are purely personal opinions of myself and my friend, Lohith. Further I'd like to thank Lohith for the chat we had which helped in bringing out such ideas which was the cause for the blog!

Your write up, which is an eye opener to the boastful characters, goes in line with the theory propounded by Swami Vivekananda, who had also declared that whatever is happening in the Universe has been pre-determined and we are doing what has been asked to do. A good material to arouse deep contemplation. Well done. Keep it up - Boo Mama -

nice demarcation between chance and destiny.. but destiny is coz of the choice we make.. atleast thr is little attributed to the choice made..every thing that seems random may not be random and they could be connected..chaos theory..
i never differentiated things like this..i had only thought, actions were all consequential and connected even to the simplest of them..
a new view point for me

Hey nice write up. .But i would like to add some point to theory. . .According to me everybody on the universe is a medium to build The world . . .But what are wse building is certainly unknown. . . we are just contibuting to the worlds progress. .On the other hand according to your chance theory everything happens by chance but i think if its the case any body can do anything. .But he/she does it by random chance. .. But thats not the case Here Our Life can be compared to a logic gate with lots of Gates. . .Some are OR ,Some AND,NOR,EX OR etc. . .And based upon our input only and type of gate input is provided only everything happens. . .And when u go to Your Second theory also if a person knows he is doing things dictated by Some upper thing. .What is the need for a person who is working hard to do that. . .It doesnot motivate him. . So he will become lazy da. . .Basically all humans are motivated by rewards and every indivudual wants to do only what he likes. .So what is that Motivates a person to do something? And who motivates him? And why thats motivated? Many Such questions are rather unanswered in life da. . .

Nice write up da. . Keep it up da.
