Opposites

When I come across a thorny subject I often find it is useful to think of ‘opposites’.

For example Google tells me that the opposites for destiny are “choice,  free will, volition”.

But are these accurate as opposites? I think not.

If destiny is something that is 100% likely to happen no matter what we do, the the opposite is something that has no chance of happening no matter what we do.

Suspiciously, we have no word for this. I think it’s because we don’t believe that anything is impossible.

We are biased towards hope and this is our destiny.
