Can you believe in fate and destiny?

Question

I wrote a paper in 10th grade and the topic was “Do you believe in fate or destiny” but we had to pick one!!!! It was so hard and plus was young well I ended up picking fate because I personally believe u can’t control fate because it’s already set in stone!!!!
What do y’all believe in fate or destiny?
You can only PICK ONE!!!

Answer

I have to be honest here and say I don’t know the difference lol

Answer

"Its not fate. Its just.. circumstance. I domt fool myself with romance i just live phone number to phone number, dusting them against my thighs, and the warmth of my pockets which whisper history incessantly asking me,
Where were you?" Ani Defranco. 
One of my favorite quotes from a favorite poem of hers. The whole poem tbh takes my breath away if anyone is interested in looking it up. 
Destiny. Maybe. But never fate.

Answer

Destiny. I’d like to think that I’m in more control of what will happen in my life. That the choices i make will lead to how my life would turn out eventually. The thought of everything already being planned about me scares me. Either way, the outcome is the same.

Answer

these are the same in my mind lol. i think anyone arguing a difference is just grasping at straws at that point. i don’t think things are fated or destined at all.

Answer

Neither. They are both just imaginary concepts created by humans.

Answer

I don't believe in either. Things don't happen for a reason, they just happen.

Answer

Wtf is the difference????

Answer

I thought they were the same thing...... Lol

Answer

It’s like the nature vs nurture debate almost.
I’d say both, or neither.  All things happen in conditions.

Answer

I do. The way I see it, fate is what happens assuming status quo as well as the black swan moments (an event that basically comes out of nowhere). Whereas, destiny is what you can influence. You can say have the gift of a beautiful singing voice. If you do nothing your fate could be pretty ordinary, while if you train it and put yourself out there you can be destined for a huge career.
