PROMPT: Fate / Destiny

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

No. Life would be hard to bear if one believed one were just playing out a program, and was not a free agent.

That said, I can’t say I have enough information to have a strong belief in the opposite (i.e. free will.)

So, like a number of other big philosophical questions, it is one for which I prefer ignorance over delusion.

Biodestiny [Free Verse]

linked machine to machine
we're bio-destined to oblivion

we can take our fidget romps,
but we're still turds migrating
through a litterbox called life

among us are sentient volcanoes,
self-aware, but not aware
