Being an arrogant bastard, I must say that mathematics can solve a lot: (to Bebelina) I almost agree with your thesis, maybe you could say: free thought = free will, then "heart + free thought = destiny". But what if "free thought = free will + intelligence ", or " destiny = heart + free will + intelligence", assuming we have any of those. Then, intelligence = talent/limitation, so destiny= "heart + free will/thought + talent/limitation". But what is "heart"? Heart (the most complex, philosophically, biologically and psychologically), surely = courage + mental strength + composure all over fear? Therefore, destiny = courage + mental strength + composure all over fear + free will(or thought) + talent/limitation. There we have it, we can calculate someone's destiny (!) using my intrinsic model...although I am kind of hoping not (by assigning values to all). Thank you. P.S. Somebody's probably going to post a reply saying: "Ankit, you're right...you ARE an arrogant bastard."
Well I wasn't Ankit Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Actually I was just going to add some philosophical sums also: Christianty / other religions = Athiest (freewill + Pre-determined) / quantum computers = Lifes direction My favourite from Aristotle: Lover1 + Lover2 = Half souls X 2 = True love (The quote was something "For true love to exists, it takes two half souls, to make a full soul." Aristotle was a great believer that people had only a half soul, so the only time that you truly felt like you had a whole soul was when you fall in love with someone, and you feel as if you have found your soul mate) Combustion Engines X Populous = Pollution + Destruction + (Populous - Lungs) half Full + half empty =Somebody well balanced. ((plates x Mugs) X cutlery) + (yesterdays washing up X 4 weeks) = students sink Neutral + Live - Earth + water = Frazzled Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I don't think you've nailed all the variables. Namely that one person's destiny rides on the actions of many others. Ben
