Gentle and honest, marry a stupid and rude husband;

It's all because of the word "fu"

If it is, it is fate! ?

Everyone says that we are impetuous and lack of faith in this age of desire, but haven't we always believed in "fate" devoutly? We want koi fish to be possessed, and we want all the good luck to come to us. Only in this way can we accept the "destiny" and our life will be smooth sailing from now on.

But what is "fate"? It is difficult for anyone to make this problem clear. What we often hear is what the old people say, such as fate, fate, fate and obedience to heaven, all of which contain the irresistible meaning of necessity.

So every time I encounter all kinds of misfortunes in my personal life, I invariably sum them up as "Hey, it's all my own bad life!" Blame everything on life to show how innocent and helpless you are! However, what is this "life"? Is it because it is mysterious? Unpredictable, unpredictable, unknowable and uncontrollable? Since we can't control this, why do we always pin our feelings on it?

From the perspective of inevitability and contingency in the five categories of materialist dialectics (cause and effect, necessity and contingency, possibility and reality, reality and essence, content and form), it is inevitable that things will inevitably occur in the process of development, which is inevitable under certain conditions. Chance refers to the uncertain trend in the process of the connection and development of things.

If so, the nature of "fate" is mostly "accident" rather than "necessity". If it is inevitable, regular and rational, then people can understand, observe, learn and summarize in a series of ways. It is because it is beyond people's understanding and imagination that it is accidental and unknowable.

Therefore, it is difficult for people to infer from rational experience, and they are used to trying to understand it through unconscious and illogical ways such as witchcraft, divination, fortune telling and other irrational cognitive forms (association, imagination, intuition and inspiration).

However, because people are good at observing and understanding everything according to rational principles in real life (with the help of abstract thinking, the phenomena, external relations and aspects of things directly felt by the senses), they often regard accident as necessity, and regard "destiny" with "inevitability" as the master of the human world, a certain force and belief that dominates and dominates people's survival and life, and become people's fear and obedience.

It is true that some people become rulers under the guise of "destiny", while others follow "destiny" and become obedient.

Following the previous premise, we often cling to "fate", but forget that there is "luck" after life. Compared with the inevitability of fate, luck is accidental, with strong opportunism and even more illusory.

Because inevitability and contingency are the unity of opposites, they are both different and related. First of all, their differences are as follows: the reasons for their emergence and formation are different, which inevitably arise from the fundamental contradictions within things, and occasionally produce non-fundamental contradictions and external conditions of things; Their different forms of expression must be relatively stable and definite in time and space in the development process of things, which is the common development trend of similar things, and occasionally unstable, temporary and uncertain, which is the individual performance in the development of things; Their position and role in the development of things are different, so they must be in a dominant position in the process of things' development, determine the direction of things' development, and occasionally occupy a subordinate position, which will promote or delay the inevitable process of things' development and make the established trend of things' development have certain characteristics and deviations.

Secondly, its connection is: there is no necessity to escape the accident, but it must exist in the accident, and it must be manifested through a large number of accidents to open up a road for itself; There is no accident of breaking away from necessity, it is hidden behind and dominated by necessity. Chance is the inevitable expression and supplement, and necessity and chance can be transformed into each other under certain conditions.

Therefore, for "fate", we can neither be extreme left (fate), negative and pessimistic, nor extreme right (luck), waiting for the rabbit.

About discussing "fate", we have to mention "fortune telling". According to incomplete statistics, there are "fortune-telling" techniques, including divination, divination, astrology, five elements, geomancy (geomancy), fortune-telling, divination, word-breaking, Taoist magic, Liu Ren, Taiyi Shinto, magic, palm reading, Wei Zi Doodle, and iron version of God. There are astrology, Tarot divination and psychic mathematics in the west (these three are popular in China).

I heard that someone around me has been in contact, and I have some doubts about the "result". However, it is not allowed in most cases. It varies from person to person, you believe it, and vice versa. )

It is not so much "fortune telling" as "playing games". For example, the most emotional tragic story in ancient Greek mythology-Oedipus killed his father and married his mother. In addition to letting us sigh again and again, we deeply feel that the power of fate is so powerful and people are so small and powerless.

Little imagine, after careful scrutiny, "Oracle Bone Inscriptions" belongs to "fortune telling". Because the Oracle is also ambiguous, it only predicts that "Oedipus will kill his father and marry his mother", and does not specifically say whether to kill his father and marry his biological mother or to kill his father and marry his adoptive mother. So no matter how the story develops, it will verify that the "Oracle" is always right; Because from the moment you ask God, you enter the game carefully designed by the Oracle. If Oedipus hadn't studied the Oracle, he might not have been played like this.

In the final analysis, people often like to exaggerate the facts and infinitely enlarge the dominant characteristics of some special phenomena, so as to impress them, so that they subconsciously think "well, it should be like this"; Then slowly and continuously bless and move closer to it. Under the hint of "centripetal effect", the advantages and disadvantages of human nature and the fear of the future are increasingly aroused. Gradually, we become the confirmers of self-prediction. For those coincidences that we can't know, we are better at constantly creating all kinds of coincidences. Finally, it is endowed with special meaning in the charm, thus enhancing its mystery.
