"The universe makes fun of us all, Reese."
"Why exactly would the universe make fun of us all?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's insecure." - Charlie Crews and Dani Reese
I used to wonder what the meaning of life was, and then it occured to me one day that by definition, maybe the meaning is that there absolutley is no meaning at all; the concept being that perhaps in order to be free in our own lives we must make it all up for ourselves as we go along.
There have been times where I've felt as if there was something else out there guiding me on the road that I was always supposed to be on, and then there are times when I feel as if all of life, my own included, are just little pieces of a golden puzzle that were created out of mere thin air.... as if nothing in my life had been planned out once or ever.
I would like to believe in the philosophy of there being "No fate but what we make," but to be honest.... I'm not quite sure.
I feel as if we, as human beings in a more advanced era in time, do have free will to some extent but in the overall big picture of things, we're all influenced, just like the other chess pieces beside us, by powers beyond our control. I for one, don't believe in coincidence, but that's just me.
Maybe we're just dillusioned as a race.
Maybe we only think that we have the free will to control our lives and actions, and as a result, that very same belief plays as a factor in our own fates, as well as in the destiny of mankind as a whole.
Life is a never-ending mystery....
