Fatalism
Submitted by bradb on Mon, 04/21/2008 - 08:52
Fatalism argues that there is no free will, that we are predetermined by larger forces to do what we do, and history has progressed in the only manner possible. Even those actions that appear "free" work toward a predetermined end. As the Borg might say, for you Star Trek fans, resistance is futile (meaning acceptance is appropriate). All events are inevitable so you may as well accept them. Don't wear a seat belt, because it's either your time, or it isn't. A seatbelt won't change things.
