First of all, this is not my opinion. Someone with the initial AAG requested me to translate her post, and I was willing to do it. The reason was that I found her writing interesting, and also to shape up my rusty English. So please do forgive me for any grammar or syntax mistakes found in the following translation ^_^ The original post can be read hereAlasan laen... kamera gue masih di cahya.. jadi blom bisa upload foto2 yg direquest saudara Kari.. huehuehuhe...Will our soul trapped inside the power of fate?
The essence of my thoughts you're about to read today has not been influenced by another soul's
opinion. There must've many people thought about this matter already, but what you about to read
below was born from my own, honest opinion, staged by the night's dark, melancholic night.
Difficult. Was the word coming out of my mouth when I first read the question.
Silence. Was my spontaneous reaction before finally taking it deeper into my heart.
After taking some time to really absorb the essence of the question, my response was:
'Our soul is not incarnated with the power of fate'. First, I will interpret the true meaning of 'fate', according to my own, sincere opinion. Other people might disagree with this statement, but it shouldn't matter, since different people pursue different understandings.
Fate according to my interpretation may be described as the end of each of the series of events
happening from the individual's previous encounter, and not as the end of the whole scenario.
What's the difference, you asked? Take this example for a moment: French fries that was spilled while I was eating at McD. Was it fate or destiny, that I had to encounter such occurrence? The
answer is no, since such occurrence won't happened if I was a bit more careful during my action,
especially since such incidents were not rare in my past experience. (pengalaman pribadi lin?
^_^)
This matter of opinion can also be elaborated to address the soulmate of an individual. My
definition of 'fate' includes series of steps that needs to be concluded before achieving the
real, final and definite 'fate'. Many people might disagree with this opinion. Allow me to
elaborate my understanding. Let's say that, hypothetically, I choose to end my relationship with my boyfriend tonight, (amit2 ya lin ^_^)I won't have the power to say that 'it is fate that ends
it all'. Why? Because the source of all the decision is that I was the one that made it so that
I'm not with him.
My interpretation of fate is different from from the definition of 'voice of the heart'. Some of
you might respond to my hypothetical situation by saying that because I chose to end my
relationship with my boyfriend, such situation concludes as my destiny. From my opinion, it was definitely not fate that ended my relationship with him, but a little voice from my heart was
the one that influence me to do such thing. I really believe that it was something that I hear
from God, being his decision to separate me from him, and not because of the work of fate.
This reminds me of someone's saying who believe that someone's soulmate is NOT in God's hand. (boy, this should be interesting ^_^) Again, let me explain this before proposing a judgement. Whenever a couple decided to put themselves in the holy matrimony, one of them needs to propose to the other person. This statement was clearly against the old saying that 'jodoh ga akan lari ke mana-mana' (soulmate will not hinder from you). I guess it's pretty obvious that the reason is that without proposal from one of the couple, there would not be such thing as marriage.
So, do you believe in Fate? or Do you believe in Magic?
