View this post on Hive: Answer to the Bi-weekly Question by @TribeSteemUp
Since the Steem blockchain became a centralized, top-down dominated place, where control and censorship thrive, I have decided to move my content. Don't worry, though, all my posts and up and doing well on the decentralized Hive blockchain. Come and check it out!
I loved this topic because everyone really looked at those two angles - freewill vs determinism - and most came away INCONCLUSIVE, or at least - hey, there's a bit of both. You write so clearly and simply, questioning whilst arriving at your own possible conclusion - I like your style.
I love that image to emphasis how we're all connected and influencing each other in all sorts of ways as part of a collective whole. The thing is, some people have far more power than others - so much so that they impact on the freedom of choice we have. Ah, who knows. I just try to do the best I can on the wheel. xx
H-m-m that's a different viewpoint that we all originated from the same being and respond individually to the different circumstances.
It kind of makes me think of how a baby is born with the cells spitting and reproducing itself.
I like that you bought to the forefront
It is surprising the power we have when we take a close look at it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this question!
Originated from, or you could say we still ARE the same being. People say "I can't split myself in two." or "I can't be in two places at once." Well, what if you could... be in many places at once? Would you also react differently to things?
I think the neat part here is to brainstorm cosmologies. Not that it would actually make it so, but it's always a good exercise to break away from the norm to try a new vision.
Whatever road one travels it helps to have a more positive attitude. Maybe one can't change or escape destiny but we do have a choice on how we experience it. This world can be cold and merciless but anything can be turned into an advantage
That's right: we can only do what we can, but that much we should! Where did I see this...? Give me coffee to help me change the things I can, and wine to accept the things I can't.
Life is a mixture of both Free will and Destiny. Both play their roles equally. While I too strongly believe that we can shape our life with our intentions and efforts but there are something that just do not happen or happens even if you try hard not to. For e.g. when I shifted to a new country I was all set to take up a job. I was applying with all the possible companies in the city. For 2 full years I must have tried giving my 100%, I may have covered up almost 80% of the companies in my field for the job, there was not a single day where I did not put my effort, but it just did not come through for me and I had to change my direction.
Changing my direction must be a plan of my destiny so anything that I worked on did not shape up for me in getting a job. This was one lesson that I learned that sometimes things are just meant to happen and no matter whatever you do it will happen the way it is planned for you.
Enjoyed reading your thoughts. Thanx for sharing.
Right... on the other hand, under different circumstances you barely even have to look, the job finds you. That's why it's so much harder for people who feel like they could take on the world. They could, but working with it is much more efficient. That's why I like to see us in the roles of co-creators, working on the world, but not on our own.
So well said, it's best to go with the flow of the Universe and allow things to happen just the way it is meant to be
