Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost (This is what started the argument in class) Yeah I also agree with choices, but fate is also in the end of a choice. |

Looking at it from an fourth dimensional point of view, tempting fate would be bending it, therefore fate isn't the correct term for it. It would just be not beleiving in it at all.
Also, if you think of the world as a university for the souls that want to learn about what happens in life, from a different society or world it would make more sense, considering it is for learning purposes. The nature is the preset of the education, and the humans are the learning resources, since the nature really has nothing too big of a flaw to start with. Humans on the other hand just ruin things, there isn't too much they can do to reperfect nature in it's state now. And if you look at it that way, fate could be possible; also considering if everyone around you are a phantasm, and you yourself are invincible. (i.e. Pulling the trigger on your head; gun jams) The phantasms around you are just preinstated clients from the other living beings that are living in their own dimension. There are lots of theories, those are just mine. And looking at it from the human's capacity for psychological balance there will never be a way to find out. And the safest path to take is to not beleive in fate because that could be dangerous mentally. |

Then I had an epiphany, like a smack in the head, that not making a choice is a choice in itself. I can't know for certain how my choices will affect my future, but I had to decide that I would rather choose a path and wonder where the other would have led, than not choose one at all. |

You were perfectly clear - that was kind of just my 2 cents from my life experience with choices/fate. |
