Just curious if anyone else has run into this before aside from the whole sp thing of course. You meet someone and you have so much more in common with them than anyone else before, and how you met is just bizarre. By bizarre I mean you have common connections through people you both know, yet your meeting was completely by chance. Then as the relationship grows you keep finding more and more odd connections - I know this likely means nothing but.

Maybe Iam just an idiot and the damn feb 14th thing is bothering the hell outta me but this question has been on my mind for a bit.

just some idle ramblings - bored in the snow zone!!!

You mean destiny as it's written in the stars, or providence that it's part of God's plan as opposed to just blind luck eh?

I find that the word 'destiny' is often overused to explain the simple truth:

When you get up in the morning you set out on a course of events that are only set in motion because you're in motion.

For example: you've found so many connections with this person but by knowing similar people, and partaking in similar activities you are bound to be connected to them by the simple fact of your lifestyle choices. Now if you were to fly to Bulgaria and turn down a sidestreet off the beaten path and find your childhood sweetheart, then that might be something akin to destiny.

Now to say it's destiny when you meet and fall in love with a beautiful volleyball player that is in the same league as you, well, that's just about guaranteed because: a) you're both similar people because you're in a volleyball league b) if you're single and she's single, etc etc etc.

Yes there is destiny.

The definition of destiny is that you have a pre-determined path. The path that was pre-determined for you is not absolute. Your life can take this path or the path can be altered by events and situations.
I have met many unfortunate people in life and they have a very narrow path to follow because of the family they were born into or because of limited education or prejudices that have inherited from family or have formed themselves. I have also met people born into wealth and privelege that have ended up in the gutter. Once I picked up a SW that offered me an hour of service for $40 and breakfast. She told me that she came from a wealthy family of lawyers and her grandfather was a superior court judge. I have also met people that came from nothing and they are very wealthy now. Destiny is what you make of it.

Destiny is just an unwritten book.
Every day you make numerous choices and most of them have a minimal impact on your life journey. But occasionally, you make a chance decision that alters your future in a significant way.
Just part of living.

Normally, I am a complete skeptic and a total non-believer in that type of thing, but something happened to myself and my girlfriend very recently that definitely has me thinking.........hmmmmm...wtf?? I won't go into details, as it is a VERY personal story and you never know who is reading here, but suffice to say, this particular incident has me thinking that I should try to be be more aware and "in tune" to that type of thing. It was soooo f'ing bizarre, that I just cannot explain it rationally; there's no way. I have to accept that it was "destined" to happen; there simply is no other explanation and it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it! I know, I'm "such a wienie"....I have also been told to accept that recently too; and am happy to do so. :)
I had the same experience last year. I believe that sometimes we are guided to meet special people in our lives.

Interesting replies, basically if your fucked there is nothing you can do about it. The sun just seems to shine on some ungrateful motherfuckers. I spend years looking for someone to share my time with and nearly found someone but once again screwed over. There is destiny for you. Something like the bs I was told today that every married guy cheats its instinct, that is just shit made up by those doing it. Fuck if society as a whole lived by instinct and that fucking darwin shit it would be acceptable to rape pillage and kill because its just human nature (at least some of the population has evolved maybe)

sorry about the rant
