I don't enjoy the idea of fate. It seems so defeatist.
Yes, you're probably going to meet a lot of people worth knowing in life, and I'll admit it's kind of humbling to think that safe of those relationships were meant to be. But what about all of the bad shit that gets thrown your way? Was it all meant to happen to you? Was there truly no way you or anyone else could have prevented it? Is there really only one person you can ever become? I don't like to think that way, and if somebody tries to use the idea to justify their bad choices - to duck responsibility - then that's even worse.
I prefer to think it's up to us to make good things happen, to meet people who matter. It's... maybe a little bleak to believe that we're not getting backup, but I think there's something freeing to it as well. It really is up to us.
