Is it better to have life worked out for you, or have you work your own life out?

[The colors must swirl]

Bibles tends to do just that... lay your life out for you. Isn't growth and self-development a much greater alternative to the world's dogmas?

Either way, you cannot foresee being hurt in a collision, developing an incurable illness, loss of loved ones, a secure income for life, who influences your life, when you will die... and the list goes on and on. Your destiny is your destiny but you do face many choices and decisions inbetween and you can make the best of your talents if circumstances permit.

I know many people who are victim of circumstances - stuck with caring for a partner or loved one 24/7, paralysed and dependent on others, rape, childhood abuse, victims of thalidomide, to name just a few.

At the moment, the world is in a mess and people have lost their homes, pensions and so much more because of the failure of the banking system. Your question, therefore, to me, doesn't hold much bearing.

I'd prefer to work my own life out.

the latter.man is master of his own destiny. man is himself a god... in one way.. he alone is creator of his own world by his actions.
