I don’t believe that destiny is a “ silly conceptual racket “. Life has so many variables that “destiny” is a very complicated concept. I believe that we are born with a DNA blueprint that makes us who we are. We are locked into a space time continuum that interacts with our personal selves. I believe that we live a life that is BOTH predestined but also changeable,( certain aspects ). We can make choices , but I believe all the choices we make are “ predetermined “ in a sense because choices are a result of cumulative past experience, our DNA , and outside influences. In reality there is no past and future....... only NOW , this moment.
