Just a Victim of Fate

I find it reassuring to think that what I’m doing is just what somebody in my position would do.

Yes, I have agency.

But I also believe in destiny, that things are going as nature intends.

There are things I can do to slightly change the outcome.

But there is somewhere I’m meant to be, regardless of the outcome.

The time and the place I was born are irrelevant to where I will go.

And it just so happens that I agree with where I’m meant to be.

Not many like their destiny, so they change it.

But not all destinies are evil. If yours is, I would change it, too.

I’m just a victim of fate, fated to do what must be done.
