In the beginning a man and a woman were born. They
married each other and lived a life that was filled with
much happiness and joy. One day a terrible car accident
occurred that killed them both. In this world we live in we
face everyday choices. Maybe these people did not choose to
die, but they maybe chose to drive in the car that day. Was
what happened to them an accident or a bad twist of fate
that was their destiny? Were these two wonderful people
predestined to die at that moment or was it just an accident
or did they just make a bad choice to drive in a car that
day?
It is my belief that we are here for some purpose. Some
meaningful some not. Each of us has our own opinion whether
that is so. Fate is a part of this world. In mythology
fate/destiny is often looked upon for guidance, prophecies
made concerning fate often come true, and even the gods in
mythology respect their own destiny.
In mythology, when people were facing hard times they
visited temples of guidance on what they were destined to
do. Like in the story of Cupid and Psyche. Psyche's parents
went to seek an oracle (in Apollo's temple) for advice on
what to do with her. The oracle directed Psyche in the right
direction of her fate or gave a hint to what was destined to
happen anyway. Also, in the Odyssey where Odysseus visits
Hades to see an old blind dead soothsayer to find out what
he should do in order to get home. Last is the destiny of
Oedipus who seeks help to make his country a better place,
only to find out what his real destiny was.
A strange thing happened in...
Is this supposed to be a moral piece
seriously, what is this supposed to be book report, analysis what, commentary? It needs cites though, can't figure how this scored 100% at school.
