md: Sad indeed. Since you bought it up, I think your religious views may be locking you up unnecessarily? Or may be you are too "reasonable"?
Here is a George B. Shaw quote that I use as an excuse to be unreasonable,
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
md: If it is not religious, then you have a measure of control of whether you do something about it.
"Allow events to change you." First of all, events are not pre-determined. Second, you can change how you react to things.
P.S. Think of it this way, a stranger left you a few random messages about this. Do you change or don't you?
Bruce Mau's "Allow events to change you" suggests the right world view is to change. For Bruce's full list, http://www.brucemaudesign.com/manifesto.html
We've never met and will likely never meet. Borrowing a friends' words, it is just my brand of poison.
kempton: thanks. well, at least most part of our lives are written, i know we can do changes... adjust, and so on. and i took a blogthing test the other day, (a bit surprise at first) the result is: i see the glass half empty. guess i used to see it half full. oh well.

Seeing the world in such a predestinate manner is sad and a bit tragic indeed.
Heard of the concept of "possible world"?
P.S. "Allow events to change you."
kempton: well, events are all written as well... sad though. :)

kempton: can't blame on my religious beliefs, more on my life experience i think.

It is your life and your choice.
