Imagine two kids on a playground: one thinks the swing they're sitting on is meant to be theirs, while the other believes they chose it. Some people see life like that first kid, as if everything was already decided. Others feel more like the second kid, choosing their own path.
Examples
- A child believes they were born to be a superhero because their parents told them so.
- Someone thinks they will fall in love with the person sitting next to them on the bus.
