"Whether or not you believe in Fate comes down to one thing: who you blame when something goes wrong. Do you think it's your fault- that if you'd tried better, or worked harder, it wouldn't have happened? Or you do you just chalk it up to circumstance?
I know people who'll hear about the people who died, and will say it was God's will. I know people who'll say it was bad luck. And then there's my personal favorite: They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time" (89).
OK, this quote is so cool. Because when I'm at hockey for example, when the game doesn't go well, I always think, what if I took that shot? Or what if I passed the puck faster? Could the game have gone our way if I didn't make that stupid mistake? Or wait, was it even my fault? It could have been someone else's fault. Usually for some reason I just accept the fact that it was my fault and become really crabby until I get over it, which takes some time. I wonder sometimes if it was supposed to happen like God had planned it or if I really made it happen myself, like I made the choice I wasn't supposed to make. But, I guess I will never really understand.
But, my mind changes when it comes to the fact that someone dies. I feel like it is God's Will when someone dies just because I feel like the people that do die to soon are always the people we don't want to leave. It is almost like we don't deserve someone like that because they are so good. Many disagree with my view, but I just think that people are taken at the right time and at the right place.
