tomcatwarne: I believe the script is largely written, we are children of the stars and the universe is unfolding, in a preordained fashioned.
This does not make life events less salient for us though-
If this were true, that would mean we have no free will or choices and personal responsibility. Everything is just a puppet show, Might as well do whatever we please,,,,, wine, women, song and debauchery,,, Not our fault or doing,, all preordained,,,, Nahhhhh, I can't buy into that,,,,,

In response to: CORRECTION: If you found a book with your life story, would you read it?
No. If I was to do that, I may as well give up living. Living is grabbing new experiences along the way and learning from our mistakes at the same time. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

Glitch101: Wise man: Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher has been proven right.You'd have liked him ,he was an atheist.
Thanks Glitch, didnt know that one.......
Things can be learned from it for sure. A good quote I saw the other day was. Always be kind to people, as everyone has their own challenges that they are facing.
My life? It is fairly stable, more ups than downs, and it has been as exciting and challenging as I dreamed it would be.... and i hope the same for the next 53 years. Temptation to continuing living my life !
