Fate and Destiny     In the beginning a world and a woman were born. They married each otherand lived a intent that was filled with much happiness and joy. One day a revoltingcar accident occurred that killed them both. In this world we live in we impudenceeveryday choices. Maybe these people did not choose to die, but they perhaps choseto drive in the car that day. Was what reached to them an accident or a pitifultwist of component that was their destiny? Were these two wonderful people foreordained to die at that moment or was it just an accident or did they justmake a bad choice to drive in a car that day?     It is my belief that we are here for rough purpose. Some meaningful somenot. Each of us has our own panorama whether that is so. Fate is a part of thisworld. In mythology fate/destiny is often looked upon for way, propheciesmade concerning fate often come true, and even the gods in mythology gazetheir own destiny. &nb sp   In mythology, when people were facing hard times they visited temples ofguidance on what they were destined to do. Like in the story of Cupid and Psyche.Psyches parents went to seek an seer (in Apollos temple) for advice on whatto do with her. The oracle directed Psyche in the obligation direction of her fate orgave a hint to what was destined to happen anyway. Also, in the Odyssey whereOdysseus visits Hades to see an old blind dead prognosticator to find out what heshould do in order to run short home. Last is the destiny of Oedipus who seeks help tomake his country a demote place, only to find out what his real destiny was.     A fantastical thing happened in all of these different prophecies anddestines of all these gods/humans. They all came true. all(a) of them. For instance,it was said that it would take Odysseus ten years to return home. Low and behold,he came back in ten years. Halitherses who warned the suitors of their owndestiny if they dont change. Of course they do not listen they do not changetheir ways and break off up meeting their ultimate demise. And we dont want to forgetabout the fate of Oedipus whose destiny was to kill his father and marry hismother. Sad thing is that it came true.     In the mythological tale of Oedipus the main character tries to avoidhis destiny. In the wind up however that did not work.
