Life and fate

I have been telling people that whatever happened is fated... nothing i can change and nothing i can do...is beyond manpower. As I read about the 5 dragon boaters who drown, that strengthen my belief. Till to date, whenever failure come my way, or when i met with some unhappiness, i also have someone to "blame" or something to console myself... that is F-A-T-E. Some people might think i am just trying to find an excuse, some people think i am finding the easy way out...whatever it is, isn't life simpler this way with fate to blame.

As I read the report of the incident, I wonder how can 5 promising young men just gone like that? And I look at the river they were paddling, it seem so harmless to me. And then they were gone. And typical singapore, here we go again, trying to find someone to blame, or trying to find a scapegoat to answer for it. But is there a point? I beg to defer. Whether they wear a life jacket or whether they were warned, it was already all fated. God has other plans for them.

I might sound extreme but well, that's my belief.

Bless those souls who have gone...
