But to deny fate is arrogance, to declare that we are the sole shapers of our existence is madnessif you deny fate life becomes the series of missed opportunities, a regret for what never was and could have been, a remorse of what was not done and could have been done, and the present is wasted, twisted into another missed oppurtunity.
