FATE DOES NOT EXIST, LIFE IS BUILT
This is a reflection, my reflection about Life. When I say Life, I also mean Fate and Death. According to me, Fate and Death are two elements that belong to Life. I believe they comprise it. Let me tell you what I think to be Fate, then Death. Of course, this is just my point of view. Thus, I would understand someone to disagree with me because everyone, as a human being, has his own feeling about these concepts.
First, Fate is for me something that cannot be controlled. But it is part of Life.
Second, Death can be handled. People can choose to die or to live. There are possibilities to bring Life to an end. Death is of course a component of Life.
Therefore, I believe Life, Death and Fate set a whole up. This whole may be called Life; but Life as a universal concept.
What follows is my thinking about this concept.
CHAPTER ONE: AS DREAMS COME TO REALITY
Everyone has a dream, maybe more than a dream. A dream is part of Life. Sometimes, we want it to become reality. Either we try to realize it or we leave it as a dream. People used to say that a dream is a dream and cannot become true. So they live all their life long with dreams. Fine. But imagine you have dream(s). And you try, because you want to realize it or them. You hope that one day, your dream or dreams will come true.
What a pleasure to see one of his dreams come to reality. How exciting it is or it should be.
Have this ever happened to you yet? Just once? How did or would you feel?
Another question emerges; if you have a dream or dreams, do you really want it or them to come true?
Another question may also arise: what if people do not have dreams? What about those people? Because I think there are persons who do not have dreams.
But what is dream exactly? What do I call dream?
Let's take first the idea that some persons have dreams. Those persons want to see them come to reality. Each one has to find a way to achieve them. Of course, this way is different according to the person. Once he or she identified the way, he or she has to find means to get them. Because much too often, it is not possible to achieve something without any money, even a little. This is unfortunately true for dreams, which is abstract, unreal. Obviously, those persons aim to spend the least money as they can. And I think this is possible. Nevertheless, spending some money is sometimes required.
But isn't that true that you are ready to make some sacrifice to bring them to reality? I think so.
