Do not underestimate the power of the human body. Equal to survival is the human need for reproduction. Quite strong. More-so than most average morale and logic. A person who disciplines their mind could overcome. But those who follow their bodily desire like kittens in a field, chasing each butterfly stimuli only to become distracted by the next create the dilemma you bring to our attention. It's not in everyone's life path to do such, for in my beliefs, no matter how unfortunate and saddening to human emotion, all things happen in a finely intricate web of cause and effect, all tying into the same destiny. The chaos that we see, is really misunderstood harmony of what lifes main destiny has in store for us. In a way we create it, but do to our circumstances, there could be no other way for it to be. Such a postulate being out of scope of human emotion, makes for an impossibility for one to feel the need of going throughout life feeling irresponsible for their actions. You're destined to choose but that choice was included in that main web of destiny. Choice and destiny being one and the same. Simply put, Learning to accept and not force our expectations onto others, could only make for the best of worlds, but due destiny has in store what due destiny has in store, which in a sense, is the greatest perfection.

That depends on whether you believe fate to be a human construct; a personified entity used as a tool to explain and justify circumstances which effect the human condition. Getting philosophical here, if you do perceive this to be the case, does this make it "real" as it would then exist within your own perception of reality? Just a thought.

Free will is about what you wish to make of yourself in future. Fortune or misfortune is the result of what you worked for (consciously or otherwise), in the past.

It is the invincible necessity to which even the gods must accede, as the Sibyl of Delphi confessed. Destiny is fate, personified in Greek culture by the three Moirae (called the Parcae by the Romans), with a Nordic counterpart in the three Norns. The "doom of the powers" in Norse mythology is Ragnarok the battle which even Odin must inevitably face, at the end of the world. \nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate\n\nFate is a game which was in development in 1996.

It is purely coincidence.\n\nCoincidence has always given people thought.\n\n“It is no great wonder if in the long process of time, while fortune takes her course hither and thither, numerous coincidences should spontaneously occur.  If the number and variety of subjects to be wrought upon be infinite, it is all the more easy for fortune, with such an abundance of material, to effect this similarity of results” – Sertorius Page 678.

Luck is when there is a deviation from expectation.  For example, Flipping heads twelve times in a row is lucky as one would expect to see heads only 6 times, given the probability of a heads (assuming we are tossing a fair coin).  A chance, by definition is something that is random.  Note, however, that in your question you have written "luck/chance" as those they were interchangeable.  They are not.  Lucky is when an event occurs when the chances are in fact small as determined by probability.\n\nAlso, there is no scientific evidence to suggest anything like Karma or Worldy energies affect chances of an event or your luck.  That's all just mumbo-jumbo.

The term "destiny" often implies predetermined: the word used is "predestination."  But free will is a real thing, and you are indeed responsible for your own choices.  The whole "free will vs. determinism" question has been debated ad nauseum in philosophy.  To me, the concept that there is an all-seeing being who can predict what you will decide does not mitigate your responsibility to decide as wisely as you can, and so the question is moot.

That would be so neat if it could happen:) I have this reoccurring dream-the dream that I am watching sunsets with a particular person. If he could have the same dream at the same time-it would mean that we were meant to be together. I'd hope that it was possible if only wishful thinking.
