IS EVERYTHING PREDESTINED??




















Suppose I am standing on the roof of a building. Then, at a particular time, from a particular position I drop a feather from there and it falls at a particular spot. Is there any chance of the feather to fall at any other spot than where it has fallen now?

Considering everything started from the Big Bang and believing that everything follows RULE (it’s the base of scientific thinking) we must accept that it can’t have fallen at any other position. Similarly each and everything that is happening in this universe is following rules….so there’s no chance of happening any accident or anything outside those RULES……so our future is also predestined. That is, we think that we are “Deciding”….but actually we are not….we are just following “Rules”…..although it’s impossible to calculate such immense & complex calculations to predict the future…..but if we follow science….at least we cant change the future. It’s inevitable what’s going to happen to us.

Now….do you believe that?? Doesn’t it hurt?? Thinking that you are just a slave of RULES….that you are not able to decide?? What you will become after 10 years is already fixed?? You are only acting like a free individual…. & being proud to be a Human being…whereas there’s no difference between you and a Pig or a tree or even a stone. Yes…it hurts…& I personally don’t believe that….because I don’t follow science blindly…..RULES are made by us to explain (or should I say trying to explain) our universe according to our need…..they are not the absolute truth….they help us in calculating certain things. That’s why they keep on changing as time passes. While discussing this topic with one of my friend….he was saying that rules are always true….1+1 will always be 2……but my question is who made those rules?? They came naturally or we made them according to our need? While saying 1+1=2….how can we define “1” here?? Considering that both the “1”s are same itself is an assumption….made by us for the sake of a calculation which will help us making a rough conclusion. You can’t say “It’s the absolute truth”. As there’s nothing called absolute truth….everything is relative. So I don’t rely completely on science in understanding my surrounding…..I am open for any supernatural or Para scientific believes & would like to keep my mind free of any bindings…as it’s wisely said….”A mind, like a parachute is only useful when its open”.
