Fate is the idea that everything in life already happened before you were born. People believe in fate because it feels like their lives are guided by something bigger, like a plan written by a god or an invisible hand. For example, if someone falls in love with another person and ends up married to them, they might think this was all part of the plan. It gives people comfort, knowing that everything will work out as it's meant to.
Examples
- A kid dreams about winning a race and later wins it, they think this was fate.
- Two people meet at a coffee shop, fall in love, and get married, they believe this was all part of a plan.
- Someone sees their name on a lottery ticket before buying it and ends up winning, they call it luck or fate.
