About fate...

People respond to positive things in their lives differently.

For example, upon seeing a beautiful sunset...

Some people might be extremely appreciative. "What did I do to deserve such a wonderful sight?"

Others might just simply enjoy it. "This is so gorgeous!"

I'm different. I'm more likely to think, "It's fate that I'm here to see this. I was meant to be here if only just to see this sunset, right now."

See, I tend to cite fate as a cause for lots of things that happen, just in general. To me, fate is some abstract notion that no one can control, but everyone is under the influence of. That's what I believe in.
