Are We Predestined Or Is It Just Our Efforts? by Yankiss(m): 7:01am On Oct 18, 2017 |
Nairalanders, please can you shed light on this conundrum? Looking back at my journey in life so far, I cannot with certainty say that things I have achieved were what I set out to achieve ab initio. I had a different career plan. But one way or the other, I find myself at odd tangents with prior fixations. I have studied the life of eminent personalities. Almost all of them admitted foreknowledge of their preeminence even when nothing suggested it in the beginnings. Is it that we subconsciously plan another thing while consciously preoccupied with some other? Is it that what you are planning for the future is what the future is planning for you, as posited by some schools of thought? Or we are predestined? Please let knowledgeable sources help illumine this puzzle. cc Lalasticlala cc Mydn44 |

Yankiss: My brother, nobody knows. The question is a philosophical one and will always be argued till eternity. Nobody actually knows how these things work. And no answer can be immune from lapses. At times, it appears what we amount to is a product of talent mixed with luck or accidents. 1 Like 1 Share |

In my own view, i don't think there is anything like a predestined life. I believe it's all by our effort 1 Like |

Baptistz: Good. But why are people able to foresee the future? |

Yankiss: I don't also believe in that because I was once a victim. The so called man of God told my mum a lot of negative things about me but I promised myself I'll prove him wrong and I did. 1 Like 1 Share |

Baptistz: Very nice and determined of you. But I am witness too that some men of God/ psychics did predictions about people which came to pass, mainly positive things. I think the negatives are avertible just like the positives can be carelessly lost. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Sharp9: Not sure we are all born equal though determination is important. Some people are born to very poor parents hence limited outlook from birth. While others are born to very rich parents. Again, are we to believe that successful people like OBJ from very poor background were the most determined in their generation? 1 Like 2 Shares |

In life we dnt choose alot of things by ourselves and dt is where God has decided our destines. For example u dnt choose ur parents( whether they will be pauper, poor, middle class, rich, super rich etc) or country or sibling, uncles n relations u will have. Our efforts n choices in life is also very impt 1 Like |
