Really? I like to think that it's something I'm always after.

@Fractured

It can be. But you could just as easily have a mundane destiny. Imagine if I told you that you were destined to stock pens in an office supply store forever?… Well, okay, maybe that one is a bit more negatively boring than completely mundane. What if instead, I told you that you were just destined to go visit Penumbra Falls, or something like that. Cool, maybe, but is it something you actively really gotta work toward or against? Nah, at least not in my book.

Destiny. But knowing your fate could help you too.

@Fractured

Since we’re distinguishing the two, for fate your choices wouldn’t matter. But it’s easy to not care about a destiny all the same.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Wouldn't you want to make choices around it, though?

@Fractured

Depends on if you like it or not. And are we talking about destiny or fate now?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

It can also help you make better choices, knowing what's ahead.

<Snipped quote by RoadkilBanana>

Sounds pretty risky..

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

Really? What does it feel like?

@Fractured

Either you accept what’s ahead and only make choices around it, or you ignore what you’re being told is ahead and just do what you think is best regardless. That’s how I see it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

That's a spooky way to live.

@Fractured

Stuff’ll happen regardless. Thinking things need to be a certain way just makes you potentially make worse choices.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

But it can have a major impact on your choices in life. How's that a small thing?

@Fractured

Never had a destiny or a fate affect my choices. I just do my thing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

If it's fate, you're right. But if it's your destiny and not your fate, you can walk away.

@Fractured

Potato, tomato. It’s all the same ilk really.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I understand that. I'm too afraid of getting it wrong not to.

@Fractured

You can’t mess up destiny if it’s destiny, right?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Have you had any revelations about yours?

@Fractured

Not particularly. I’m not a supremely destiny-focused person, you know?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

It could be! Do you have a strong connection to yours?

@Fractured

Who's to say? I sure don't know.
