QUOTE: "It's this; that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie" (p. 18)
I think the author is trying to say that no matter what, we always have some control over what happens to us, whether we like it or not. I'm not sure if I agree with this. Sometimes, things just happen. But then again, you can't blame what does happen to you on fate. That's just not accepting responsibility for your own life.
What do YOU think?
I think that's also what the author is saying. And that eventhough we don't want it it's probably for the benifits of our lives in some way or another.
ReplyDeleteI think you are saying that when things happen that we can't control, it's probably for the best in some way? At least we can control what we choose to do about those things right?
Deletei think it is saying that later on in our lifes we start loosing control of what happens to us adn fate starts to control how our life is.
ReplyDeleteDo you agree with that? Do you think we control our lives? Or that fate does?
DeleteI bleave that its trying to say that one point in our lives we face something that we as a person have no controll over and that piont we are somewhere in the middel of our own Abyss.
ReplyDeleteAwesome point Taylor. I like your reference to the Abyss. I think you are saying that while sometimes we don't control what lands us there, it is up to us to get out. That's deep! :)
Deletei agree with it cause sometimes you have to let go of somethings, and sometimes its not so good
ReplyDeleteLike you think when things don't go your way you just have to let them go? And not worry about having control?
DeleteI think there is no such thing as fate. What happens, happens and so on, dont make excusses.
ReplyDeleteYeah no excuses! I think you are saying that it is up to us to deal with things, so there is no point in blaming outside factors. Very wise :)
DeleteI agree with what cody was saying i dont believe there a super natural force called fate. I believe that life is depended on what u do, not your "fate."
Deletei think you have control over some thing but not all and that fate is true but you cant control it you have to deal with it and try to go through with it as long as you can
DeleteI'm not sure if I agree with the author. What I think its saying that whatever you do changes your life know matter what you do. If its good or bad things
ReplyDeleteI agree with the author because sometimes you lose control of your life, and you don't know what is going to happen or is happening. I don't really agree with the whole "ur lives become controlled by fate. Because we control our own lives.
