Do you believe that "God" has already planned out our destiny, or do you believe we make our own destiny?
And do you believe everything happens for a reason, or do you feel that's just some clever line a thinker thought up to try to reduce the amount of stress and anger in our lives? (link)

i actually think in terms of both as true, i mean, we have to make choices every moment of our lives, but even if we dont always know the outcome, i think the consequenses of each choice is predetermined. i think there is a plan for everyone, but i believe it varies. look back on your life, and the things it took to get you where you are, where would you be if youd made different choices? what might have gone differently? so as to destiny, i do think we make our own, up to the extent of what we are in control of, which is of course ourselves. as to everything happening for a reason, definately true, outside forces that change how we feel and the way things around us work, and what other people choose that effects us are things we dont have a choice in, and i believe these things happen for a reason, even the hard and painful things, some will make you stronger, others will make you weaker. it seems to me that in life if you can make all the choices you want to get to different points, and there will be things that happen that you cant help, when these things happen, sometimes they knock you down, but as long as you survive, you come out stronger, and i think strength and experience to handle the next fall is the reason for everything. just my take on it. srry for length, very thoughtful question.
