- The general acceptance of this truism notwithstanding, things are NEVER “meant to be”. People—typically two—must make a conscious decision to render them in thus fashion. Accidents “happen”; life does not. Decisions are made by discerning individuals; they don’t just fall haphazardly out of the sky. The workings of fate? Well, yes, of course, but the bus of fate requires a driver just like any other, hence you may as well commandeer that temporal vehicle and take your rightful place behind its steering wheel in order to influence the direction in which it is headed to the utmost of your ability. A million unsavory extraneous things could happen while you’re piloting the bus, but by taking firm control of the wheel you will have succeeded in eliminating one potential pitfall so I guess the number now stands at 999,999. Forget the scale; that’s an improvement.
