I believe Fate is something that is going to happen, kind of pre-planned by the universe or God...etc...etc.... and then there is accountability......being accountable for whatever role you play in any given situation.
I believe in both. I know there are things that are going to happen and there is nothing I can do about it happening.....but I can do my best to take all the measure I can to have the best possible outcome.
Example:
You wear a seat belt in hopes that if you are in an accident that your injuries will be minor, you won't go through the windshield...etc... The seat belt will not stop fate. The guy who is going to run the stop sign is still going to run the stop sign. But by putting on the seat belt you are being accountable for part of your outcome. Could you still get badly injured, of course. But you took all the proper steps to do your best to lessen that outcome.....accountability.
I don't think accountability always comes AFTER the fact. As in to apologize AFTER you have made a mistake. Yes, an apology is the right thing to do AFTER the fact. But what about BEFORE?
Is it OK do just sail along in life leaving EVERYTHING to fate? Seems to me that is a lazy way not to really participate in life. There is never any accountability that way. You can always just say....oh well...it was fate. It was going to happen no matter what I did or didn't do. And as I stated above, I too believe in fate. But I think we all play a part in it.
Jump in and let me know your thoughts. Maybe I am looking at this all wrong.
