WHO CONTROLS MAN'S DESTINY [random thoughts on life]

Often times in life we are forced to believe in the "Que Sera Sera" (what will be will be) principle, but in my little experience I strongly believe that as mortals we are not just tools in the hands of God, we are co-determiners of what becomes of our communities, our state, our nation and most importantly our lives. the mere mention of co-determiners will give me the responsibility of coming up with the equation to calculate how much influence a man has on his destiny (individually for a man and collectively for a community) I may not give a specific formula for this but my explanation here with future findings might help us get there.

Firstly, going back to the beginning; Adam was created, given opportunities and then allowed to make things happen with these variables, the ultimate destiny of Adam was this:

A woman came, he fell in love, she gave him an alternative opportunity and he made his decision. This decision changed the cause of his life (though I am not explicitly sure of the initial plan for his life) and things changed; I said “changed” because the initial route things were following immediately changed upon his decision to accept the opportunity his wife gave him.

Let me pause at this stage to relate this occurrence with our life today. We are all created equal (that is not totally unquestionable though) but whatever the case, we are given a fair chance to come to this world, at this point God presents certain opportunities our way, some we know others we don’t but the fact that we are aware of divinity’s opportunity does not disqualify their existence, to that end I say we are now left to fight it out, to sieve through the gazillion number of choices presented to us daily and this choice is where the exact deal is left.

To that end I put forth these points:

- We are born into this world (the forces of nature determines how this happens; it’s not our making)

- We are allowed to learn what comes our way (at the formative stage its still not our decision to filter what we learn and the experiences we get) so we’ll still give it to divinity

But from a certain age when we are now sure of the difference between good and evil nature gradually allows us to take responsibility for our actions and re-actions at this point things are no more entirely in nature’s hands we are now co-determiners with natures with our role gradually increasing as natures role reduces as time passes and life climbs until it begins to decline.
