I have come to a conclusion; although we cannot always control a specific situation, we can always respond to it, no matter how or when it happened. I personally believe that all events are predetermined, however we still make decisions. I believe that everything falls into a big puzzle, a tapestry if you will. I believe that if events of our life were to change, that we would arrive at the same destination that we eventually will anyway. On the issue with marriage, I believe that everyone will eventually find someone, so why worry? It’s really pointless if you think about it. Fate will find a way to get two people together if they are meant to be. I believe the only way we can change our destiny is the way we respond to particular situations, and I still believe this only affects it in a minor way.

Although life seems like such a long journey, we must realize that it is no more than a snap of a finger. The more you increase in age, the faster it seems to go. I consider time a predator, stalking us every moment of our life, waiting, until the day where we finally lose the battle. It is inevitable. Time will eventually catch up with us all, and there is nothing that can be done.
I have read numerous things in philosophical thought lately. For an example, the theory that we are all somewhere else, in another plane, dreaming our entire lives. This theory can be backed up due to the fact that we sometimes, or I sometimes, dream within a dream. So who is to say that our entire life is not a dream? Who are we to say that we are really in control of our on life? If decisions are predetermined, how can we make a choice? If our every move is calculated, and our actions are known, our abilities to choose are gone. I know this sounds very similar to “The Matrix,” but I have thought this for many years, even before I saw “The Matrix.”
