Difficult decisions tend to make us feel stressed and uncomfortable – we don’t want to feel responsible if the outcome is less than desirable. This is when most people tend to blame fate. We do not want to accept the fact that the wrong choice you made, ended in messing something up, and we have nothing else to shove the blame on to. This is when fate comes in handy. An intangible incapable of giving lie to your word, takes the blame.
Fate is real. Not everything goes as per our choices. Some of the things do run aground, even after we have given it all attention and make the best possible choices. As the saying goes, “You can’t stop the rain.” Sure enough. If we happen to be somewhere, where something unplanned happens, not quite in your favor that then is fate. The saying goes on to say, “However it was your choice not to take the umbrella”. Ill fate does befall without warnings, but there are many a precaution you could have taken to reduce the loss. When the floods washed away your dream river side home, there was precious little you could have done. But it was you who built the house right next to the banks.
There are also cases of total misunderstandings. With the increasing amount of information that floods into out notice these days, there is also a real chance that you may miss out the most vital part of an important thing. Leading to critical mistakes, and someone believing they were hard done by, by fate. Here there is really no one to blame, not even the victim. In this case though it can be in a very strict observation be blamed on him, there is also the fragility of the human mind to consider. Actually this is more of a fate accompli than the earlier cases.
But the true blamers of fate are those who set out on idiotic ventures and fall flat. They then look around to seek some tangible reasons. And when none is found they blame fate.
Fate is fate, until you take responsibility for your own acts and results.
