They would have us believe that there is a shining thing called "destiny" - a thing that we're meant to do - were you born to dance, or maybe cook, or is it your destiny to be a baby-sitter? But people don't fit in these grandiose boxes.
That's a lie, built to distract us.
Nobody's born to be a gymnast, or a footballer or a plumber - you might have some talents, but you choose if that's going to be the rest of your life. Because if this whole "destiny" thing is true, then you would have to believe that daily wage laborers, that, I don't know, unscrupulous businessmen, loan sharks, abusive people, or even people that hurt or kill others are destined for that life.
Then, when you see the cruelty of the world concentrate and focus on its kids, you would have to believe that they are destined for that.
Destiny is a lie.
The only truth is beauty, and family and love, and the need to understand God.
