what’s next?

Monday, May 5, 2008

things happen for a reason.  whether good or bad, there is always a reason why things happen.  lately, i’ve been wondering if it’s the past and the present that affect the future or if it’s the future that dictates what should happen before it?

i learned to smoke a year ago.  now, smoking is a form of socialization, a stress-reliever, and an activity to pass time.  if i’m not a smoker, i wouldn’t have bonded with the people i have bonded with because i know how to smoke.  was i allowed to learn how to smoke so that i can socialize with these people?  or was it because i was bound to socialize with this people that i learned to smoke?  well, i think this is a weak example but i can’t think of a better one.

anyway, the point is:  do the things we do now and the decisions we make today affect tomorrow?  OR do we do the things that we do now and do we decide the way we decide today because we should in order to make way for the future? 

well, my theory is:  the future has already been written.  things happen because they are bound to.  it would seem that we have a choice but for all we know, we are bound to make that choice because the consequence of that choice has already been laid down.

things that happen today happen because the future says so.
