Hunni, life is a coward and always manages to kick you in the goolies when you're already down.
You know where my pm box is anytime you want to rant, shout, swear or whatever.

Sorry to hear of your fractured wrist! Been there and done that twice so I know it's painful. Get well soon. :therethere:
Regarding the destiny question. As a Buddhist I would have to say "to man alone as the creator of his present life and sole designer of his destiny...."
I don't know about fate/destiny thing, don't tend to believe in it myself,
hope you feel a bit happier and better soon though :therethere:
Hope you are feeling better soon :cheers:
As for fate, I am a great believer, I have had far to many ‘miraculous coincidences’ in my life to think otherwise. I do not however believe that fate rules our entire existence, rather just gives us the odd nudge occasionally.
Imho
I believe that we all have someone guiding us and looking out for our well being, unfortunately it seems that I copped for Attila the Hun
I'm a fatalist. I truly believe that when your number is up, it's up, and there is nothing you can do about it.
We had a terrifying incident a couple of years ago that made me feel like that. Scooting back from Matlock Bath one day we were just approaching a bend when a car came flying round it from the other direction, totally out of control. It hit the bank in front of us, spun off, crossed back over the road, hit the opposite bank, spun back over behind us, bounced off again, and finished up in the ditch on the other side of the road. If we had been just a couple of seconds earlier or later it would have taken us out and probably killed us.
It wasn't our day to die.
Once upon atime we Saxons would say, "Our life is mapped out, it is up to us how we live it." So yes you were destined to fall, but what is up to you, do you gripe over your injury or look forward to the next.
To live is to suffer.
Having said that, this year I sat all alone blood pumping from my open artery. I chose to stop the flow and live. The wound was not my choice. To panic or live was.
Then again is the fact that I think I have choice is just programed in at birth?
Who knows, live the presumed life it is the only one we have...or are you all figments of my imagination.
Take care and hope you feel better soon. Not sure about fate or destiny, never think about it.
