You mean the opposite of "agree to disagree"?

Don't borrow money with the expectation of being repaid.

If i can't "dash" you, i won't borrow you. I learnt the hard way.

I know someone who would borrow despite being well-paid, and when he gets paid his salary, still refuse to pay his army of creditors

What if you pay someone to do a job but spent the money and couldn't do the job?

First let's consider the meaning of destiny:

1. That to which any person or thing is destined; a predetermined state; a condition foreordained by the Divine or by human will; fate; lot; doom.

2. The fixed order of things; invincible necessity; fate; an irresistible power or agency conceived of as determining the future, whether in general or of an individual.

From the above definitions, destiny is said to be fixed..perfectly mapped out from the very beginning of such person's life.... Then, whatever happens to that person must be according to his or her already written script...

Now here are some few questions if destiny were to be true....

Why do we look left and right when crossing the road or run out of the road if we saw an oncoming vehicle trying to hit us... If our time to die has been predestined why take any precaution to save oneself, if it's not your time to die then you won't, you don't need to do anything, remember your whole life and action has been mapped out which means you're not in control of your life.

Also, if there was anything like destiny, means whatever is happening now is what has been mapped out or planned from the onset.... It's been destined that you'll open this thread on Sunday, and I'll be commenting right now as I am on this thread... The list goes on,..... The concept of destiny opposes the concept of free will...
Everyone is wherever they are today because of the decisions they made and actions they took moments before now not according to some perfectly planned out script... That's what I call freewill not destiny...
Thanks.


To answer your question, even though your time and cause of your death are certain, they are not known.

The truth is that you don't want to die now. Even if someone claims that it is now, you don't want to believe it. You will try your best to stay alive. Hence, you will always look left and right before you cross.

Free Will is an illusion. You think you are making the choices you want to make but what you want is the result of the situation you find yourself in.

- Y
ou choose to eat because you are hungry or because it's tasty or for whatever reason you have no control over.

- You are commenting on Nairaland because you are bored or because it's fun or for whatever reason you have no control over.

Interesting i must say.
I think it would become a cycle if i said the situation we found ourselves is influenced by the things we do or don't do.
Then it will get to the question of our birth, we didn't influence that BUT then again our birth and circumstances surrounding our childhood is still influenced by the things our parents did or didnt do.

You see the cycle now? What do you think?

Yes. The cycle continues infinitely. No one knows where it started.
Some people say it's the big bang, some say it's God, some believe it's in the future.
Many theories but we don't really know.
I don't know. What I understand is that the future can only be altered from outside the universe.

Thanks for your response. It seems i lean more to your school of thought. I mean its only logical to agree we don't have control over the course of life.
...
But then the future be influenced by things we do or don't do?

If the future is influenced by the things we do or don't do and the things we do or don't do in influenced by the situation we found ourselves, then we are not really the ones in control.

I stopped reading when you mention "The universe is assumed to be 13.8 billion years old. " keyword assumed... you guys deal with proof and evidences right? definition from google..

Yes. I used the word assume. An atheist would probably say "the universe is 13.8 billion years old" but I am not an atheist. I am open to infinite possibilities. Our understanding is limited to what we know and we can never know if we know everything.

That being said, atheism makes more sense to me than theism but I grow my own belief.

You have failed to mention the time it took for both to be accomplished.

The robot hand was probably assembled by a machine within minutes.


The universe is assumed to be 13.8 billion years old.
It took almost that many years of trials and errors before humans finally happened.


And whether it's a complex design or not is a function of what the human mind thinks is complex.

PS
The human hand is an intelligent design from the perspective of a human. It is also a coincidence that happened over a long period of time.

Programming / Re: Best Way To Separate HTML And PHP? by Nipeks(m): 9:04pm On Jun 13, 2017
I tried to explain in full details but I can see myself writing a book already so I will just give you a simplified function.

Store all your html codes in PHTML format in a separate folder (e.g. html/). Just use the function below to get phtml files and display them.


<?php
function view($path, $parameters = array()) {
if(is_file($path)) {
ob_start();
extract($parameters);
include $path;
$content = ob_get_clean();
return $content;
} else {
return false;
}
}


Let's say you have a file - html/layout/wrapper.phtml
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title><?php echo $title ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $content ?>
</body>
</html>


You can get it in a php file like this
<?php
$title = 'Nairaland - Topics';
$content = view('html/forum/topics.phtml'); //Note: This is another phtml template. Will return false/empty if the file does not exist.
$page = view('html/layout/wrapper.phtml', array('title' => $title, 'content' => $content));

//You may just echo the $page
echo $page;

exit;


Note that the view function is just to demonstrate the logic. It will be more complex in an MVC/OOP environment.

The only thing stopping the CBN from pulling down MMM is because its does not have a traceable bank account. The module beats them, until then we would risk what we can afford to loose as with all forms of investment.

Romance / Re: A Female Colleague Asked Me This Question. by Nipeks(m): 1:08am On Oct 09, 2016
The reason is that men are too open minded compared to women and they take advantage of it. When someone makes themselves overly available to a person they are attracted to, especially in the beginning stages of attraction they loose their value. Someone overly available has lower value than someone not in such abundance. Sometimes I laugh when men call girls cheap.

This is no doubt a form of Multi-Level Marketing in disguise also known as Pyramid Selling, Network Marketing or Referal marketing. Trust me you don't want to do it. Do the math yourself. I don't see anybody making any significant amount of money in a year. Only the people at the top of the pyramid are making more. It is a deceptive marketing strategy. GOOGLE IT!

I had it enabled when Google webmaster web app advised me to use it but later put it inside a comment since I couldn't detect any difference. Besides, it seems to be causing rendering problems on some touch devices. I don't care much about it's SEO requirement, it has little overall effect.
