    I do but I also believe it only takes us so far. I also believe that destiny is not an absolute and that we always have the power to change any "fated" situation.

    Nope.

    I can't really support controlling one's own destiny, either. If it is predestined, then it will happen regardless of your efforts.

    But that is what is great about opinion, Sarai. You can have any opinion you want. No one says mine is any better than yours.

    I have a relative to makes CRAPPY choices all the time, screws life up, and the fav phrase, when in the middle of it all is, "well, whatever happens, its God's will"...

    Makes me want to puke.

    no... actually, I think if God's will was for this person to make these awful choices, they'd have been born with their head already up their arse.

    I believe we have opportunity and gifts. And we also make our own opportunity and mold ourselves.

    People who talk about destiny sometimes talk about soul mates when it comes to relationships. I also cannot stand that talk. I have a great wife. Good marriage. But I know she's not the only person in the world for me and I know I'm not the only one for her. If something were to happen to me, I think she could find another mate that would be loving, kind, generous, humble... you know, like me. ;) we made a choice. A decision.

    Ah... my point... is... uh... I think bad things happen to good people without it being their destiny. I think good things happen to good people, sometimes by chance and sometimes by effort. And I don't think belief or disbelief in God changes any of that.

    And now I have a date with a brownie. Its destined to be gone very, very soon.

    Life is a chance, getting up and out of bed each morning is a chance.

    Should you turn right or left, try to beat that yellow light or stop, everything thing we do is a chance.

    My motto in life comes from a zen saying "leap and the net will appear". Honey let me tell it's the truth.

    If you keep going back and breaking up again, it's not working, which is why they keep breaking up.
    When you get tired of the up and down drama, then it will be enough and you'll stop going back.

    Going back really doesn't work... momentarily it does... but long term.. A big NO. When you first break up, you have reasons to do so and when you get back, it still lingers on in the back of your mind... subconscious mind to be precise. So even if you work hard, it rarely works. Best is to chuck up what's broken and look for another experience.

    Going back to an ex can work but it usually doesn't. As they always say, "it's broke for a reason." And repeatedly going back and getting into a cycle of breakups and reconciliations is definitely out. That just becomes a big power game and is totally unhealthy.

    Once is one too many times. I'm sure it's terribly hard, but they are continually setting themselves up for heart break - moving on is the only direction they should be going.
