do you believe in fate?

[chops147]

throughout my life I've noticed little coincidences do you think that's all they are or something more?

I've also noticed little coincidences.
Fate is something I'm unsure on. I do think that things always seem to find a way of working themselves out.
I've learned not to worry about things I can't change, something I learned after joining this forum.

I don't like to think that fate exists, because I would feel I don't have choice in my life. I also don't believe in any God or any higher power. But if I do something bad I do sometimes worry about bad karma biting me in the ass.

I think the saying "what goes around comes around" is quite true. And it is often too late before you realise this.

Jung thought there was some inter-connective framework going on between mind and reality. Lot's of spiritual traditions imply as much. My rational mind wants to isolate it as co-incidence and imply I'm daft for transposing meaning onto it. I don't care though, I still think there is something going on we don't remotely understand. I suspect self improvement addicts tend to get more of this intuition than most. Are things pre-determined...I have no idea, I hope not as it sounds fatalistic and lazy.

Is this topic off?

I decided it was on topic cos often when choosing a long term partner the fate bit would play a part.

yes that is the context I'm referring to

I take it this is what your actually referring to?

Synchronicity

The mind fuck is you can create these yourself.
