Don’t fall for destiny paradigms, kids. They’re poison, regardless of how you’re faring or will fare later. Western narratives, both fictional and otherwise, are saturated with them. I would go so far as to say it defines the way our cultures think and make decisions. You can start atop a wave and ride it to paradise, you can fall off, or you can start beneath and live a short, meaningless life before you drown. You can nudge things, sometimes, but it’s mostly chance and circumstance. Systems.
Systems, be they artificial or natural, define where we are in the matrix of existence at any moment, and the extent of effect we may exert on the world. We can decide ‘who’ we are, but the systems themselves determine the parameters by which we may define even that. And if one is a ‘chosen one,’ that implies that many others are not. What of them? And who decides? Is it fate, the universe, God? Nope. Just other humans, with all their baggage, which is the source of a great many problems.
