What is Destiny?
Destiny usually means predetermined events, in some belief systems it is said that we cannot change our destiny, in others we can determine our destiny. But when examined in-depth, our choices determine our destiny, and we can always choose to be better people.
Do we create our own destiny?
If we did not create our destiny, our choices would be meaningless, our existence would have no meaning. We were born and started to learn about the life, we gained experience and we set a path for ourselves with what we learned. The conditions we are in today are a result of our choices, but we cannot ignore external factors.
We can also call it luck. Even though we have done everything we can, an unforeseen event can happen and things we call bad can turn out to be good and things we call good can end up badly. We should not be in a hurry to judge what we have done as wrong or right.
