I often find myself wondering why certain things happen. I know that people have their theories of fate and destiny, there can't be good without the bad, or that is how God intended it. Some of these things I believe, and there are some I don't. But like I said, all people have is theories.

I don't like believing the idea of fate and destiny, that our lives are already plotted out for us and we are just following along a path and we have no choice, really, to do what we want. If that is the case, then what is the point of being on this planet? We can make choices but to say that it was already determined that we would make that choice... Well, that's kind of deperessing, isn't it?

I also hate the idea of the afterlife and how certain people see it. Don't get me wrong, I believe in life after death and I think it's obviously a good thing. But I hate how people say that it doesn't matter what we do because God has already determined where we'll go. Again, what's the point of living, if that's the case? I believe that God does know if we'll go to Heaven or Hell, not because he just decided, but because he knows everything and he knows the decisions we will make and based on that, he makes a choice. But that is not the same thing as fate.

All that people have are theories, just like myself. I do believe though, that I know because of the religion I belong to. But even then, no one has solid facts and answers and sometimes it's frustrating. Theories and questions, hypotheses and ideas. No one knows for sure. And what if we did? Would that freak people out enough to cause chaos in our world? Would we live our lives better? Or would we simply give up?

So the real question is, is the answer worth knowing?
