Fate
A close friend who attends meetings almost every day and uses the same underground line had no meetings on that particular day. So lucky!
Another colleague was to be in the building near the bus explosion but the venue changed to Birmingham just for that day. So lucky!
Of course there are so many cases elsewhere who were just so lucky.
Our Streaky and all of you blog pals in London I am so glad you are all ok.
Unfortunately all those who were involved in this atrocity were not so lucky. I believe in fate. No matter what you do or what you plan, whatever is meant to happen does happen. You have no control over it. Call it fate, destiny, luck or chance, it's all same, something we do not see or cannot change.
I suppose there are arguments against this belief. May be it is an easy way out. Something to console yourself with.
This is what I say to my Sickie. He was attacked and beaten up for dead in an unprovoked incident by 3 yobs under the influence of alcohol and drugs. After many years he still suffers from the effect of the assault. He is worried about every thing especially my going out. This is what I say to him. If you are meant to die you would die no matter what you do to protect yourself. Mind you that does not mean you do not take care and look after yourself.
Do you think there is something like fate or destiny?

Such a complicated question..! In summary I can only say that in some situations I believe fate is something you "create", but in others it's out of your control.
They say that when you pass the event horizon of a black hole, the laws of time and physics change so dramatically that your future coincides the point at the centre of the black hole. No matter what you do, you will eventually end up there - you ending up at the centre can be proven scientifically. But you chose to go past the event horizon in the first place.
I think it's a little like that. Assuming that made any sense whatsoever.

I think it's more of a
blind luck situation.
Some you win some you
lose. I don't think the
big celestial has any
influence what-so-ever.
Obviously the terrorists
create the scenario,as
we don't know what goes on
in their little hive-mind
we can only hope to be lucky.
