Do you believe in meant to be??
« on: August 03, 2006, 09:34:00 am »
I\'m curious as to how many of you out there strongly believe that if something is meant to be, it will be.  Do you think that if two people are supposed to be together, they can stand the tests that come up between them.  I guess it goes along with the old cliche, \"if you love someone, you have to let them go, if they come back to you, it\'s meant to be. if they don\'t , they were never yours\"  Do any of you relate to that?

i believe in that. but my belief is a little different. i believe that yes, there are people out there who you are meant to be with. but just because fate brought you too them, doesn\'t mean that you will stay with them forever. being with them is how you get to be with someone else you were meant to be with. example.

1. i was with this one girl. destined to be? sure. why?
2. we broke up and i had a very tough time dealing wiht it and started hanging out with the bad crowd.
3. met another girl. very bad influence on me. bad breakup. i went into a state of depression.
4. with the break up with that girl, i met another person. this was a long relationship that i thought was the one. guess again. we broke up. i started to realize i didn\'t love her.
5. when i broke up with that girl, i started talking to people online. that\'s how i met my current girlfriend.
6. destined to be??? YES!! will it last? god i hope so.

point of this confusing story is this, had i not been with ONE of these people, i would not be where i am today. understand? that\'s my belief of \"meant to be\"

I have seen something liek this. My best friend started going out wit ha girl I had known since kindergarden. When the rumor  came about that day she was going to ask him, I could sense some chemistry between the two. That was almost 2 years ago (will be this November). In that time, they\'ve gone through three breakups, two of which I was there to witness, and they\'ve gotten back together every single time.

Well, I see it somewhat otherwise. I think \"meant to be,\" just like \"fate,\" is an empty thing to say...

On one hand, it almost implies a miracle. I won\'t go into that. On the other hand, it implies the obvious. \"Event X was meant to happen\" is something that means the same thing as \"Event X happened.\" Stuff is only referred to as \"meant to happen\" AFTER they have happened. Well then of COURSE it was meant to happen! And when they say it is meant to happen, and it doesn\'t happen, then they always say \"well, I guess it wasn\'t meant to happen.\"

If something were to rewind time, without anyone knowing about it, then the same things would have happened, because no one knew the outcome, and the initial state was the same thing. So, EVERYTHING that happens is meant to happen, and to consider that \"special\" is philosophically unsound, just like saying that it\'s a miracle that out of ALL those sperm cells, you are the one that made it first. THAT is not a miracle either. There is a difference between \"i won the lottery\" and \"someone won the lottery.\"

Anyway, as far as people who go well together go, it\'s true, some people get along better than others, but then, that\'s a given too. I mean, what would the opposite be like? Everyone gets along in the exact same manner? How dull would that be? .

I don\'t believe in \'meant to be\' in the sense that, if there is a certain someone for you, everything will fall effortlessly into place. Like, because you\'re supposed to be together, you just will be.
No, I think rather than \'supposed\' to be together, it\'s a matter of wanting to be together. How badly do two people want to be with each other, and want to do whatever it takes to stay together? That\'s what determines whether or not you\'ll make it, in  my opinion.
I am madly,deeply in love with my boyfriend. Although I have had other boyfriends, this one just seems so right for me. So..... IT. But he\'s going back to college and I am starting college in a few weeks too. We have been together nearly a year, and we want to stay together. Towards that end, we are willing to do quite a lot for each other and for our relationship.
I believe there many people who someone could be happy and in love with, given the proper circumstances. I also think that couples who keep breaking up and getting back to gether are fooling themselves. There are reasons why you break up. Chances are, they are pretty good reasons if you keep breaking up repeatedly.  Relationships are supposed to be about being happy. Sure there can be rough times, but if you are not happy for the MOST part, it\'s not the right one for you. In that case, people should quit beating themselves over the head, give up, and find someone else.

I believe in fate. The way I believe in it is sort of the way Trent described it...

For instance, I did synchro for 4 years. For a few reasons that makes a rather long story, I was forced to quit when I hit highschool. Because of this new found 13 hours a week free time, I had more time online. If I hadn\'t of stopped swimming, I wouldn\'t have met \"the regs\" - my online friends who know me inside out and are the best friends I could ask for.

If I hadn\'t stopped swimming, I would have had no free time to go out and be social. I would have never been able to go to Nathan\'s on NYE, or my friend Amanda\'s \"yay exams are over\" party - where I met my current boyfriend(and the first guy I ever fell in love with).

I believe that some things are fated and will happen no matter what you do, but also that you do have the free will to make choices in your life. BUT I think that if something was \"ment to be\", no matter what choice you make you will wind up where you\'re supposed to be.

Did that make sense?
