Whether it's good shit, bad shit, or indifferent shit, shit happens. Does it happen for a reason? Sure. Does it happen because of fate? Sure. As far as I know, I'm along for this roller coaster ride called life, and whatever happens...happens.

UGH.

NO. Shit just happens. Period. That bumper sticker never said anything about fate. It just meant Shit Happens, deal with it. Roll with the punches.

If fate is predetermined, please go outside right now, get in your car, and run over the first police officer you see. If there is a grand master plan for you, and none of your choices matter, then who cares if you run over a police officer? You're going to end up with the same situation, no matter what you choose to do, right?

Better yet, hey guess what, your fate is predetermined! Might as well drink and smoke and eat McDonalds everynight! After all, fate already knows how you're going to die right? So doing all those things won't affect anything. It won't increase your chances of a heart attack, it won't increase your chances of emphysema, it won't increase your chances of lung cancer. Just do whatever you want, your free will has no affect on your fate. How many doctors would say that makes any sense?

F that kind of thinking.
