THE MEANING(S) OF DESTINY

Blog City Prompt: Do you believe in destiny?

Claiming that something happened because it was destiny is usually just an excuse. Shift the blame and refuse to take responsibility. The free will of human beings allows them to avoid or embrace events. The concept of destiny (as a noun) is often claimed as the cause or the reason.

I believe our relationship with the Earth and the greater universe is much more complicated and deep than our distracted, filtered brains can comprehend. The link or connection between parents and children, siblings, and certain friends and lovers, is one of the amazing and wonderful things about living as a human. Amazing talents and skills are evident in some but not all.Where does it come from? The study of DNA provides limited answers. Again that's not destiny, that's inherited potential.

As I write about in my novel Apex Project, sometimes a great purpose was not completed or learned in a past life. The soul incarnates again into a new situation that has potential for completion or connection. Your free will might nudge you in the right direction because it feels correct, but then most of us are idiots and the same mistakes are made over and over again.

The meaning(s) of destiny are so broad and general that it is applied to almost anything. I do not believe in destiny. It is just an odd use of language to explain the often unexplainable.

Destiny is a concept, not a real power or force. If you are alive, you have the power within youself! Choose wisely and with love.
