Hello everyone, let's talk about fatalism today. People educated in materialism have always equated fatalism with feudal superstition, believing that fatalists are cowards who dare not face reality, and are all pessimistic, misanthropic, negative and decadent pitiful creatures. I even thought that if people believed in fatalism, what hope would there be for the world?
However, with the experience of life and the in-depth thinking of life, we will eventually find that the understanding of fatalism is very one-sided. People do not admit fate, often because they see that people are autonomous, and people's actions and results often have an obvious and direct causal relationship, as if our success or failure depends entirely on our efforts, and the so-called will makes it possible.
Is that really the case? Almost all of us have had dreams of all kinds since we were young, but few of them have come true. When we reach adulthood, we become mature and grounded in reality. We had to give up a lot of fascinating fantasies and do what we could. In fact, in the journey of our life's constant struggle, we are constantly changing our goals. In fact, we always fail more than we succeed, and we always have more losers than successes. By the time we had to leave this world, we had to give up all our dreams, including life. You will gradually feel that everyone's life has a trajectory, and this trajectory seems so natural and orderly due to the constraints of various factors, although some are tragic and some are brilliant.
People who don't believe in fatalism often don't believe in the afterlife, and true fatalists believe in both past and future lives. Because people have previous lives, and there are many reincarnations in previous lives, they accumulate a lot of causes in these previous lives because of good and evil, and these causes determine the life of the next life. The accumulation of good causes for doing good deeds determines the blessings of this life, and the accumulation of evil causes for doing bad deeds determines the suffering of this life. In this way, how will a person who believes in fate deal with life? Will he be passive and decadent? Will he complain about heaven and others? Because he understands that all suffering is caused by his own evil deeds in his previous life, he will be willing to bear it without resentment, otherwise, not only will suffering be inevitable, but it will also create new causes of evil, and the next life will be even more painful. Because he understands that the blessings of this life are the result of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue in his previous life, he will cherish the happiness of others, will not be jealous, will also look down on his own fame and fortune, and will not get carried away. Because he understands that the blessings of the next life require good deeds in this life, he will not only stay away from evil deeds, but he will also strive to be a gentleman who is diligent and dedicated, kind to others, strict with himself, and morally noble!
