tomcatty: That seems a fatalistic appoach, is all we do, all that happens to us predetermined, laid out like a script which we follow. If this is true then we have no free will, and que sera , sera, what will be will be is indeed true, Or can we influence the way life and the universe evolves??
It would make a certain amount of sense if there wasn't any free will. That in reality we can only move one way in space just as we can only move one way in time. You were born with some genes in an environment with some influence. That's a baby boomer male, that's a baby boomer female, and both are alien to the Sioux. Completely alien to the Sioux. There isn't anyway for you to become the Sioux however much a certain type of postmodern may want to be the Sioux. Postmodernism meets an individual genetic tendency towards novelty. That's all that is.
Even if you live a lie by say marrying a brunette when you prefer blondes that too is not freedom. You're just predetermined to spite yourself. It's you all over to do something like that.

Call it what you will, this is my approach to whatever life throws at me .I didn't ask to be in lockdown but I have to deal with it . I probably might have to live through a war ,who knows.
It's not what live throws at you it's how you personally deal with it. My life,my rules.
