Life planned out already?
Just wondering is life planned out before we even know it? It just seems strange how some things seem so planned out, and yet I did not know anything about it. Like I was over at a friends place, and decided to go home early (2 am).
I was driving and I saw this kid who broke down middle of no where, and he said it just broke down about 10 minutes ago, and his phone died on him today. So I gave him a ride home.
Do you think life is already planned out, and you are just following the plan without really knowing you are?

I would really, really, really hope not. It would mean some of us are guaranteed to make it, while others of us are guaranteed to fail no matter what.

I definately DO NOT think life is planned out. I make my own choices, good and bad, we all control our own destiny.

Either way, even if we aren't, there's really no way to tell. For all purposes it at least feels like we control our destiny.

We control the route we take, but we don't control the endpoint.

Decisions we make today can affect the future, but the predictability is unreliable because there are so many variables we don't control. However it works well enough often enough that it generally helps us to think strategically. For that reason our minds have evolved in ways that make us create concepts like destiny. In retrospect we see destinies having been fulfilled, so we project to the idea of a destiny that awaits us, and think of it as a thing that's already there waiting for our observation to catch up with it.

Erk.. this thread kind of smells of 'Philosophy 101'.
Life's not planned out. My funky existance to date I think is proof of that.

Your life is already planned out. Yes you are making your own choices, but the plan knows which choices you will make. Go ahead, prove me wrong. Make a choice the plan doesnt know that you are going to make

Poetically speaking:
Life is a series of paralell choices intertwining in unison within an infinetly dimensional and limitless illusion.
Scientifically speaking:
Life is a series of choices that affect our next choice, there are uncontrollable factors but we (as humans) have universal control over our decisions. Everything has an opposite
Mathematically speaking:
Life is an integer that should be multiplied by a random variable and then added to a constant.
English speaking:
Life is life. Just accept it
