Do you believe it’s fate when you meet certain people or a coincidence?

[jackieistired]

I think certain people come into your life because the universe/god intends for it to happen. Like you have a soul mission and these people are on your path for you to achieve it. That’s my personal opinion

It’s a higher powers plan for you to meet certain people

It’s a coincidence

[razelove]

I think it's coincidence. Otherwise you have no free will, like I love my wife and my family, but if it wouldn't have been her it would have been another woman because of how aggressively I was dating with the goal of having a family.

If I wouldn't have been putting myself out there I wouldn't have met her, much less had the luxury of choice. It's the same with making friends or enemies. One of many things God intends for us to do is exercise free will.

You skipped a possible combination "fate to meet but free will how reacted ".

[Berethor]

It's a coincidence, I don't believe in fate or anything supernatural, as I have no reason to.

[strateguy632]

Ah memories.

I recall my parents making a big deal about that, "god providence" but even when i believed tooth fairy, i argued that!

We meet so many people just statistic we must meet SOME that are more significant or feel connection.

SO neither coincidence that means something else nor random nor fate, just natural.

Then i realized how kids sleep deeply and no tooth fairy. And THAT is why other kids got more under their pillow. No tooth fairy! The shock!

I think God does put certain people in your path, yes. But what you do with that is entirely up to you.

If fate existed you could sit in one spot forever and have the same outcome

[EnjoytheDay777]

I don't believe in fate.

[Simslover92]

It's definitely fate

[TheCaller]

Everything in life is a coincidence
