Do u believe whatever happens throughout ur life, its already bin written and planned out, and whatever happens, its meant to happen?Or do u think life is full of random choices?do you think its down to random coincidences ?do you elieve that what happens in our lifes is all down to our own choice and we control our lives and what we make of them is up to us?
I feel that everything in life sometimes happens for a reason but we still maintain some control of our destiny...
Down to a certain point, you can say that everything that happens is only a reaction to the other things that are happening, which happen as a logical reaction to other things, etc. You can compare this to rack breaking in a game of eight-ball: all the balls interact, and a highly complicated formula probably could predict exactly where each of the balls would end. It's all logical and predictable, albeit extremely complicated. To a certain degree, you could say the very same is constantly going on on a way larger scale, determining all the courses of existance. That's the world we as humans live in.Yes. But to say that things "are written" and "meant to be" is basically like raping that theory. You know what I mean.And yes, the environment obviously does influence who you are as a person. Great inventions become possible only after someone else made some other inventions first. It's a social environment you're born in, that determines your culture, your language and all the things you get in touch with. That's where you learn. That's what determines what happens to your genes, and how they evolve into a person.Of course. Still, I think our genes have significantly more influence on us than our environment does.One aspect of all of this should not be overlooked. Amidst all the influences, at the end of the day, you're still a human being. Human beings have a thinking faculty. They reason. No matter how comforting the thought of not being responsible for the things that happen in your life might be, the fact is that you're a thinking human being, and your thinking does influence the things you do. The things you do, influence what happens. Your life isn't totally beyond your control. Don't act like it is - don't back out of responsibility, because your life will become a mysterious misery if you practice what such beliefs preach.To be honest, I think that point is stronly connected to the one before. Genes and environment. We, as human beings, DO reason.. but come the fuck on. If you were some random nigga born in Panama, you would not be doing whatever the heck you are doing right now. Especially not if you were also dumb as fuck, 5'0'', female and 230lbs on top of that. Genes DO mean a FUCKING lot.
Yes, I believe in fate. The fate of the pale faces is to burn in hell for being Yakub Crew scum. It is Allah's will, destined to come.

Being 230lbs is another thing that may seem very much genetic, but honestly, don't you think food patterns and physical exercise are rather much culturally determined?
