I believe in causality. That we each have multiple fates. And that every decision we face represents a branching of reality. As we make choices in life, we limit our possible realities, inevitably determining our final destinies.
A quote from Gene Rodenberry's Andromeda, probably the BEST sci-fi show out there ;D
Its interesting to think about though. When your born, your life is one strand of string. It is tied to hundreds of millions of other strands of string, which in turn are tied to millions more. Each string represents a choice than you can make.
As you live and grow, you walk along the string, choosing which ones to follow. Taking on here, and then branching off onto another path there, making choices. But you cant go back. You cant ever go back to the beginning and undo a choice once its been made.
You can only choose another one, and keep going forward.
But as you make choices, the amount of strings gradually decreases. You are left with less and less choices.
All too soon there is only one choice remaining. And thats when you die. Or Transcend to a new life, whicever way you look at it.
Thoughts?
