Everything is just a step in prescribed system. Want a good job? Follow these steps. Want a nice car? Follow these steps. Want a girl to like you? Follow these steps. Want to steal someone's girlfriend? Follow these steps.
Growing up I always believed in fate and destiny and now being able to see the mechanisms behind everything has ruined my outlook on life. Everything is conditional. And I don't feel like jumping through hoops.
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking yesterday! I have always been fascinated by fate and destiny, and everything happens for some magical reason. But since seeing things as they are, everything has lost its charm. If you want something, all you have to do is follow certain steps and it is yours. Sooner or later, it is yours. No magic. No coincidences. Only your intent plus action.
So the question lingers, is that all to life? Maybe yes, maybe not. But yeah, I can totally relate to this feeling.
