RE: Fatalism and the Law of Attraction

in #philosophy7 years ago

For powerful people, ambition is dubbed destiny, for weak it's just something fated to happen. There is nothing more to it. If people don't have power struggles or care about money and authority, then they have no concept of fatalism.

Sort:  

Interesting perspective, I'll have to ponder that one for a while. It seems that to exist is to desire and while we can avoid being ruled by our desires it doesn't mean we don't have them. Perhaps the ambition and power struggles just stem from unhealthy obsessions and when we are able to clear ourselves of unhealthy obsessions it just seems to matter less and less. Interesting indeed.

I assume you have heard the concept of "free will does not exist because it is an oxymoron". We can never be trull free as long as we want something.

Yes, and there is no way to desire less because that is a desire in and of itself.

thus it's impossible to be free, therefore we are slaves to our desires and our desires define what we consider fatalistic
