On The Shoulders Of Giants

Is there such a thing as fate? Or do we need to believe in god to believe in fate? Let’s define fate such that we don’t. I’ll call something fate when some scenario comes out of the blue where you did not expect it and something just blows up in your face and you just have to suck it up and take it in stride. One of those things recently happened in my life and I have been asking myself “what does it mean and why does it happen?” Tonight, I think I found the answer and I want to share it with you. I think the answer is a lesson in humility. I feel much more humble since then and it has made me a better person.
There’s a poem that translates to “The times are constantly at odds with the free.” This is from the Raze No album. This had baffled me for three months. Until tonight, when I found out that it means that life will teach a lot of lessons of humility to the free ones.
