As I said it's illogical to think that there is no fate.
Why's that?
Because fate works both ways in time. If you didn't do something in the past, it's not possible to change what you didn't do in the past. If you are not going to do something in the future, you can not change it. You can not do something different than what you were going to do in the future.
Think of it. If you are going to the past in the future and monitor that time period now, you must be able to see yourself there...
Well I need that contraption made of mirrors to see for myself. It's easy to do it if there's a way to slow down light.
? Fate is the idea that certain things are going to happen, and there is nothing you can do about it. Whether EVERYTHING is fated, or you have choices about certain things is also there, but whatever. There's a story about a guy who sees Death. Scared, he runs to another town. Death is worried that he saw this guy in this town because he was supposed to kill him that night, but in a different town. In fact, the town that the guy ran to...
The fact that you can't change what you did isn't fate, that's just how time works. And how do you know that you can't change what you will do in the future? With fate, certain things will happen and you can't do anything about it. Without fate, then things just happen. Ultimately, whether or not you believe in fate doesn't change anything. Well, unless a society really really believes in fate and anything that happens is justified as "it was fated to happen so we cannot do anything about it."
