Do you believe in destiny?
That everything happens for a reason?
- Nodrgs
- Everything happens for a reason, sure.
If you burn your hand on the element of your stove, the reason is you were stupid enough to put your hand on it.Continuity - khm, may i ask how you know that the touching the stove burns your hand?********
- No. Reason would imply some sort of plan, and I see no compelling evidence for such a thing.monospaced
- @NBQ00: your parents fucked be happy about that, your mother decided to let you see the world for which you should be grateful, etc. actions have consequences********
- @sted, I should have added 'lit element'Continuity
- God has a plan.utopian
- the consideration of those consequences gives you reason to act and shapes your destiny.********
- @Continuity idk what that is? i just wanted to say that the stove example describes a learned involuntary response to a stimulus.********
- when that happens for the first time you aren't smart or stupid just have no idea about the consequences.********
- I figure a nomally grown man — despite all evidence pointing to being a hormonal teenager — would know better than to do something like that ...Continuity
- ... and that that thing happened for a very demonstrable, traceable reason, and not because some invisible hand will it to happen.Continuity
- It was just an example anyway ;)Continuity
- Yes. The reason being the thing itself.
Taking the stove example:
Because of a reason: your stupidity.
For a reason: you being burnt.palimpsest - LOL.. I misread that and I thought it said DENSITY.. I was like, yeah, and Mass alsoautoflavour
