Fate is an illusion. We are merely given circumstances, thrust into a chaos of different circumstances — that which the disillusioned perceives to be order, to be fate. It is up to us to do what we deem necessary in this chaos, with it, within it, in spite of it.

The “fate” of you and the person to whom the heart belongs being at the same place at the same time is not a conspiracy, a special arrangement of the universe. It is merely the universe letting nature’s course be. To think that the universe conspires for us to reach our goals, to fulfill our dormant desires, is egotistical. We do not deserve the universe’s attention. It lets us be, we let it let us let us be.

Letting a passing instance of chaos, an instance of what we perceive to be fate, simply slip by is opportunity lost. We make order out of chaos by pulling in, fitting together the different pieces, making it a coherent whole.

And that’s what I intend to do the next time our chaos comes by.
