Einstein said God doesn't play dice. Well crunch this: for every reasoned, purposeful decision we make, one unreasonable, freak occurence results. For every person believing that they control their lives, there's one event lying in wait to prove them wrong. (and if that isn't so, then why does death get them everytime?) For every life, there is un-life. For every certainty, a certain randomness in our lives.
This then is the sum of our lives, computed based on unsound reasoning and proven facts:
Part 1
We control our life by only fifty percent. The other fifty percent is decided on by fate. This fate decides where our life will fork based on chaos calculations. For those not familiar with chaos theories, this is how it goes: the more random an event is, the more it means it is systematic. From more chaos forms more order.
That is why it is totally impossible to predict the future. Or determine our fate.
Part 2
This meager fifty percent control we have over our lives either increases or decreases depending on the amount of personality and determination we have. The stronger your personality is, and the stronger your determination is, the more likely it is that you will achieve what you set out to do. Such persons have appeared in history, having so strong personalities and such will that even other lives have changed.
Part 3
Whatever percentage of control you have over your life, you lose when you are one of those pieces whom I will call: inevitable pawns. These people are those whom fate has a set job to do. In this case, free will is voided. There will always be moments in our lives when all of us cannot choose. This is a certainty. Though fate is random, it is set on a guided structure. All these set jobs, and all those people born into it, leads into only one thing: the preservation of the universe as it is. So we are free in a sense, but kept on a very tight leash. Stray too far away from the safe structures that keep our universe functioning perfectly, and fate will rein you in.
Part 4
Illusion is delusion is confusion. Those who are realists and believe they are the gods of their own fate attracts less attention from random occurences but increases the chance of it being fatal by ninety percent. Those who are fatalists and resigned to whatever fate deals them attracts more of these freak occurences but decreases the chance of it being fatal. All random occurences can be life-changing or not.
Part 5
Once you take a fork, to actually put your foot forward on that path, the wheels of fate moves in motion and begins its calculations. You will now be struck by a fifty percent chance or more (depending on what you have from part 2) of success or failure.
Part 6
This fifty percent strike will further be altered by other people's actions and decisions. And your side of the percentage will also be altered by other people's actions and decisions. And their actions and decisions are altered also in the same way: by that fifty percent strike and your and other people's actions and decisions. And it goes on, and on, and on. The calculation never ends.
And that is the sum of our lives.
A random ripple effect bound by a structured universe. Cause a wave that destroys this randomness and you destroy the universe.
Haha. This reasoning must be caused by me playing too much calculation-based games (like DOTA).
But who's to say? Maybe we're all just part of a computer program built on mathematics such that we can never achieve a perfect world. Where everyone loves everyone, and where all dreams come true. And if that's the case, then our world's creators are such lousy program writers.
