Examples of Mozi's fortune telling

An example where fate can be controlled by itself.

Once, I visited a friend who had a successful career and chatted about my fate. I asked: Is there fate in this world? He said: Of course. Let me ask you one more question: What is fate? Since destiny takes a hand, what's the use of struggle?

He didn't answer my question directly, but just smiled and grabbed my left hand, saying that it would be better to read my palm first and tell my fortune. After telling me the lifeline, love line, career line and so on, suddenly, he said to me: reach out and do an action like me. His action is to raise his left hand and slowly clench his fist. Finally, he asked: Have you grasped it? I replied in confusion: Hold on tight. He asked again: Where are those fate line? I answered mechanically: in my hand. He asked again: Excuse me, where is fate? I was shocked and suddenly realized that my destiny was in my own hands!

He went on calmly: No matter what others tell you, no matter how the fortune teller calculates it for you, remember that your destiny is in your own hands, not others' mouths! This is destiny.

Of course, if you look at your fist again, you will find that there is still a part of your lifeline outside and you haven't caught it. What enlightenment can it give us? Most of our destiny is in our own hands, but some of it is in the hands of "God". Throughout the ages, the meaning of "struggle" is to strive for it with a lifetime of hard work.

Personal destiny is mainly controlled by individuals.

When it comes to fate, we must first know what fate is.

According to the authoritative explanation of Modern Chinese Dictionary, fate is a person's life situation, which usually refers to the so-called overall situation of good or bad luck, high or low, and life experience.

Man is the individual of society and the cell that constitutes society, and its source power lies in himself, not in others. The external cause, that is, whether the society works, depends on the internal cause, that is, whether your will is bewitched. If you are a persistent and determined person, you will advance according to your own way of thinking, then success belongs to you.

Society will only give you opportunities, and you must seize them by yourself. There is an old saying: there will be no pie in the sky. If you want to eat pie, you have to take it with your own hands.

Throughout the ages, there are indeed some people who have given the power to control their own destiny to God. However, when people regain the right to control their own destiny through struggle, they find that people can control their own destiny. Therefore, generations of more and more conscious people have been playing a symphony of destiny of self-reliance, perseverance and resistance.

As early as in ancient China, Confucius advocated "know life" and denied the agnosticism of fate. Mozi advocated "unnatural destiny" and opposed the so-called "destiny takes a hand" theory. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wang Fuzhi put forward the idea of "nature", believing that man can dominate his own destiny as long as he knows and follows the inevitability of things. The results of modern scientific research show that man is the most advanced and spiritual creature among all known creatures in the universe. As the saying goes, "the nature of heaven and earth makes people precious", there is no god or other thing that dominates human destiny. Marxism scientifically explained for the first time that "the essence of human beings is the real social connection of human beings", which is determined by the sum of various social relations existing in reality. Man's destiny is the basic state that man shows in the process of dealing with various relations in the objective world. In the same social environment, people's fate shows great differences, which are mainly caused by a series of differences between subjective and objective conditions. Among them, internal factors, that is, subjective conditions, are the basis and decisive factor for the change of human destiny, and external factors play a role through internal factors. Therefore, whether it is the practice of human development or the analysis of scientific theory, the final conclusion is one sentence: personal destiny is mainly controlled by individuals.

Realizing that one's destiny is in one's own hands is the premise of correctly grasping one's destiny, which is of great significance to human liberation and social development. In the 50 years since the founding of New China, especially in the 20 years since the reform and opening up, China has made great achievements in economic and social development, greatly improved people's living standards, and greatly changed their mental outlook. All this is the result of China people taking control of their own destiny. If we always regard the weak countries and poor people as "destiny takes a hand" or "providence", so that we don't make progress and dare not fight against them, where will there be a good day today? Unfortunately, until today, there are still some people who can't understand this correctly. Seeing that others' work and life are relatively smooth, they are said to be "lucky"; If you encounter any setbacks or difficulties, just say "bad luck".

Friends, I was born to be useful. Everyone is a talent, it depends on how you show your talent. The ultimate winner is the person who can control society and life.
