Well destiny is not a whip in hands of higher authority, such a notion is shrouded in our religious adherence. Destiny is way more deep concept, a keyword we often use when we don't have answer to our questions or an answer to what happened around.
@sauravrungta the word absolute is a heavyweight but there is nothing absolute in this world everything is substantive and relative. Free will is what guides our path but what we fail to acknowledge is that we have negative as well as positive will. Our senses have both the perception and when our positive will bare fruit we believe in ourselves but when negative will bare fruit, destiny is a psychological explanation. When we don't have answers it easier to find an answer in something cosmological.
Destiny is pre-determined but not by a higher authority by our own perceptions and will. The negative will is rooted in one being unable to control ones senses.
Destiny is sumtotal of ones negative and positive will.
Thanks for your views on this. It was really helpful. From what you said, I get a feeling that you know about the "Law of Attraction" and that we create our own reality by the way we think be it positive or negative.
