Choice - An act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities.

Personalities of each.


Fate - You tend to wait for things to happen and put trust into others rather than yourself

Coincidence - You believe that things happen at random and their is no reason for them to happen.

Choice - You take things into your own power and map out your own life without relying on others.

I personally believe in choice and feel the other two are a bad way of thinking. I will continue to do what I can and chose how I live life rather than listening to other people. You will have a choice almost on every event that you do. Sometimes things are caused by multiple people and then you will rely on them but even then they have a choice.




       

I belive in hard work.



I believe in Choice and Coincidence. Fate is for the gullible and lazy.



I am the Playstation Avenger.

   

I believe in determinism. Though my personality matches your description of choice.

I don't believe in time. Therfore if there isn't a future or past, there is no fate or choice. Guess I'm a coincidence guy. However I'm not retarded so I act like there is free will.

How can you not believe in time? Do you not believe that there was a period before now? And that there will be a period afterwards? Without time, movement, change, etc would be impossible.

From which chick magazine did you pick that up, OP?

I believe in fate, but disagree with its description in the OP. You don't have to believe in a higher supernatural power to believe that everything is determined.

Everything happens for a reason. Sure, there is a thing called quantum randomness where the same process leads to different results. I say that the reason why the results doesn't match simply is because we don't know what caused the different results. If we knew, we would be able to create the same results over and over again no matter what process we are dealing with.


I am not a blind believer though. I know that I may very well be wrong.
