Fate

Fate refers to the development of events beyond a person's control, often regarded as predetermined by a supernatural or divine power. It encompasses the idea that certain outcomes are destined to happen, regardless of individual actions or choices. In various philosophical, religious, and cultural contexts, fate is seen as a fixed course of events that shapes an individual's life and experiences. The concept often raises questions about free will, as it suggests that some aspects of life are preordained, leading to discussions about destiny, chance, and the nature of existence. In literature and mythology, fate is frequently personified, with figures such as the Fates in Greek mythology, who determine the thread of life for each individual.
