My love/hate relationship with Fate

Sometimes it's fun to believe in fate. To think that everything that happens has a specific, planned out reason, and that as we lead our lives all of the puzzle pieces are falling into place and creating the masterpiece that is our lives... then I realize that this sounds like complete crap, and I re-evaluate life.

I kind of hate the concept that someone or something else has control over my life and no matter what I do, I'm just following a plan that some higher being has laid out for me. Where's the fun in living that kind of life?

I have been known to tell people "Don't worry. Everything will work out." I feel I can still say this on days I hate fate because it's a very honest comment. Everything does work out -- one way or another. I didn't say "Everything will be ok." I said it will work out, and honestly, this is all we can really depend on.

Things may or may not be controlled by fate, I guess we don't really have control over it either way, but we can always rely on the fact that things will work out. For better or for worse, things will happen and we will keep on living.

So, don't worry. Things will work out :)
