Are people who die young destined?

I used to believe that people's fate was fixed. When I was a child, my father often said, "Sometimes there must be something in life, and there is no need to force it in life." "There are only eight buckets of rice in life, and it is not enough to travel all over the world." These two sentences let me enter my mind and become the highest criterion for being a man.

My father believes in Buddhism. One year, he took me to the temple to burn incense. When going down the mountain, a fortune teller on the roadside insisted on making a divination for his father. I don't know, it's nothing. My father asked him with a grain of salt to tell me how many people there were in my family, and he was right. He also said that I was a student, and I had to go to school when I lost all my money, and I succeeded in the future. His father happily gave him twenty cents and then hurried home to do farm work.

Since then, my father rarely asked me to do farm work, urging me to read books and do my homework every day. I didn't expect my grades in primary school and junior high school to be in the top five in my class. After graduating from junior high school, I was successfully admitted to the top class of key high schools. 1982, I was admitted to the university, took off my agricultural skin and became a cadre who ate state grain. In retrospect, I still want to thank the fortune teller. If he hadn't said I was promising, my father wouldn't have let me study. He has already asked me to learn carpentry or work in Guangdong and other places. Of course, I'm not saying that being a carpenter and working is hopeless, but that fortune-telling changed my father and my life.

A colleague of mine, in his fifties, suffers from diabetes, heart disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other diseases. Now he doesn't drink alcohol and tobacco, and the food he eats has many taboos. Western medicine continues every day, and there are not many comfortable days all the year round. He often tells me that God has given everyone many things. Before the age of 50, he lived a drunken life every day and had no scruples. He used up all the food, drink and smoke that God gave him, and there was nothing left. He's a model. Either he dies early or he limits your spending. I sympathize with him, but I think what he said has some truth. Maybe it's fate.

At ordinary times, I think that many people around me are alive and well, or they suddenly died in an accident, or they suddenly became seriously ill and never came back, or they were caught by greed and put in jail. I feel that there is a mysterious force controlling them. I know a leader who is red-faced, seldom gets sick, is as strong as an ox, works hard and is very kind to his friends. Everyone admits that he is a civil servant. Unexpectedly, he just turned 55 and suddenly developed malignant pancreatic cancer. He died less than half a year after treatment. Everyone feels sad and sad. This may be fate.

In life, there are many unexplained coincidences that no one can explain clearly. So, it's destiny takes a hand. In fact, the development of science and technology has proved that there is no scientific basis for fate without an immortal emperor, a monster and a savior. I used to believe that fate was predestined, and I made excuses for my success and failure. Now I believe that fate is in my own hands, and I can change it through hard work.
