Drawing Destinies

My very simplistic rendering of how I imagine the interaction between fate and free-will to be.

destiny

Some things you can’t avoid. The rest is up to you.

Now draw your own.

    i’m still thinking …

    but i’m still not convinced …
    if every different path leads up to the same eventuality, then why should we bother getting up in the morning?

    enlighten me saal :-p

    @Mash: A Gtalk with Sumayya prompted this:)
    @Shafs: Forgiven. plotieritis sounds nasty, hope your characters aren’t getting inflamed.
    @Seher: It does look a bit like that yes. But what I mean to say is that sometimes multiple paths lead up to one point and then diverge again.
    @GS: Think of it as an MBA case study:)

    I love this, I’m not sure how I’d draw a different one…

    is it choking on every event?

    i have a bad case of plotieritis (of course i made that up). so i look at this philosophically and say : nice blueprint for a good plot with some disasters at strategic points. etc.

    the fate n destiny thing is too deep for my fickle imagination… at least at this moment. :)

    Nail on head, this is how I see it too. I was actually discussing this very topic at dinner with Sumayya last night.
