I don't believe in destiny! I don't think life has a pre-determined plan for us. I don't see all of us are designed to fit into a puzzle and that the pieces are pre-set.
Life is what we make it. We can control some of our future by our actions. Some things we can't control. I guess the game is to know which is which!
I am here on earth because God chose for me to be here,yes people have different beliefs but mine is to learn and to treat people like i would want to be treated,to do the best you can on this earth and learn from your mistakes,i will go through trials that only make me stronger and have a closer connection with God!I do believe things happen for a reason,i have been through some heavy stuff from a terrible marriage,my dads suicide 3 years ago,low self esteem,but it is only a learning process,it took me many stumbles in the road to get to the path i am on today,i still have issues as we all do,but my main goal on this earth is to be a very good mother,love my neighbor,worship God as i see fit,and enter those gates one day,,all the pain i have suffered will wash away then!!
Coincidental Deaths This is a similar story of coincidence, (to the previous story on the web page), not of twins but of two brothers.
In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda, a man was accidentally struck and killed by a taxi. One year later, this man's bother was killed in the very same way. In fact, he was riding the very same moped. And to stretch the odds even further, he was struck by the very same taxi driven by the same driver - and even carrying the very same passenger!

cameraman: I'm here cause I was born to be who I choose to be. We are here to produce things to meet our needs. Everything happens because of cause and effect.
"When the shadow of the sash appeared on the curtains I was in Time again,hearing the watch.It was Grandfather's and when Father gave it to me he said: I give you the mausoleum of Hope and Desire.It is excruciatingly apt that you will use it to gain the reducto absurdum of all human experience. I give it to you not to remember Time,but in the hope you might forget it now and then for a moment and not waste all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle was ever won or lost.They are not even fought.The field only reveals to Man his own folly and despair,and Victory is the illusion of Philosophers and Fools."
There are plenty of people that will pretend to know the answer for all of us in order to create the illusion they are something special.
I’m here to help give them the chance to look like even bigger buffoons.
That and to open the door for the dog. If he figure that one out it will only be a few weeks more until he knows how to change the locks and I’ll need to find new digs.
We’ve all got our own missions, opinions and experiences. So, we all have our own answers.

Cameraman speaks great truth.
And didja notioce even he didn't question it this time?
Why do you think you are here on earth right now? Why do you think we are here on earth collectively right now?
Does everything happen for a reason?
Fascinating topic I think. I'm counting on an assortment of various views here.
I'll be in and out, but I'll get back here sooner or later to add my views and observations...
Very good question and thread..I used to think I knew. but with the events in my life of the past three years.. I have no answers.. only questions, so think I will watch this one..

Thats two of us. I agree with you John... We are what we make ourselves some do how ever draw the short straw but that is not because they deserve it or ask for it. Life is not perfect and things do not always go as planned.

I'd take it a step further and say it is how we change the future of others as well. It is very easy to say I WANT MINE and ignore the person next to you.
I've seen times when the application of simple human respect would make a huge difference in a situation.
Our actions do make a difference. Some people only think of that in terms of making a cash donation or going to a protest. They forget how important it is to honor the dignity of others even when you may have trouble seeing the dignity in that person.
Check out how some people treat the waitstaff in a restaurant or the cleaners in an office for an example of how it isn't done.
I'm far from perfect on that. I can be very classist if I don't watch myself. If I stop trying though I lose big time.
We are here to reproduce. We have thoughts that are quicker than the speed of light, we learn to stay alive, we must, survive. Trying to survive, we pick and choose, a partner, food and shelter. Cause and effect. The cool part is when we interact, at a moment, our lives can change forever, A woman passes you with a certian look and you enter another world or maybe she someone from another life, that has come to memory. Is she your soul mate.
