Will fate find you, whatever you do?

My fate is to die. So yes, it'll find me eventually. :)

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

eventually...yes.

[leatherdykeuk.livejournal.com]

Yes.
I slept with her girlfriend and now she's out to get me.

[ccupguy.livejournal.com]

Yep, and it already did too, but in a good way.

Tried to wear a fake nose and moustache once but it didn't work.

Isn't that the whole idea?? Haha...Don't you hate it when someone asks a question as an answer to your question?

[bronxelf-ag001.livejournal.com]

If fate=the result of the combined choices you make, then sure.

If it isn't, then no.

I warned you, Rachel, but you wouldn't leave my woman alone.

[smwright.livejournal.com]

Do you prefer the serious or flippant answer?

[leatherdykeuk.livejournal.com]

But she was so... pliable. It was only a one-night stand, anyway. Chance, alluring as she is, is far too fickle for a lasting relationship.

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Of course not! Fate doesn't find you; you find fate! You find fate as you recognize it, as you get focused on it. Only you can argue for and thus define your fate.

Fickle, perhaps, but Fate and I had an arrangement, Your intrusion caused a breach we've yet to repair. While she's always been free to cast her eye and her power where she will, the disturbance of balance between her and myself left a chasm through which Fortune has slipped and still runs amuck.

Do you really think my ire a thing of mere jealousy? We must craft these alliances with care.

There's more to fate than death :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Gutsy! :D

[leatherdykeuk.livejournal.com]

I know nothing of Fortune, dear lady, for she has always been aloof to me; ever promising satisfaction if I would only chase a little harder, then a little harder still.

To be fair, I only dallied with Chance because she was in that bar drinking tequilas. You were off with Destiny at the time, if you recall, and Chance, drunk, was left to fall where she could.

Sweet! :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Just saying... The tale of Fate, Fortune, and Chance as a threesome of lesbian lasses would be a LOT of fun :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

I love the socratic method :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Good definition of fate :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Both :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

WORD!

[smwright.livejournal.com]

Right then.

Serious: Dependent upon how one defines "fate," I would say that, yes, fate will find you. That is, assuming "fate" refers not to some supernatural idea of a Grand Design but, rather, to the premise that all human behavior is in some way predetermined by events having gone before. Yes, we can exercise free will in certain, limited amounts over certain, limited situations, but even those "preferences" are predicated upon dispositions and belief systems that have their roots in biology and prior life experiences, rendering them partially to completely predetermined.

This is, of course, a psychological, empirically-grounded argument for which I don't really have the time to engage in extrapolation today. My apologies if I offend anyone. Email me at my lj username at gmail(dot)com, and I'll be happy to set a weekend appointment for (good natured) debate.

Flippant: Of course Fate will find you. I am she, and I see all things in all places. ;)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Serious: One day I'd love to discuss Chaos Theory ad Discordianism with you... It would be fun :D

Flippant: I've been waiting for you forever!

;)

Oh! Don't get me started an another book idea!
