Destiny

I was only 14th years old when my family had a discussion about the meaning of destiny. There were three ideas about what could be the meaning of "destiny". The first one explains that the destiny is something that exist and people aren't be able to change. The second one establishes that is the human being who makes its destiny, and the final one considers that the destiny is a kind of guide in which the human being has certain degree of liberty to act. Also, this kind of guide is given by God.
I think, the destiny of a being is the collection of events that happen and influence the being during its existence. People want to control destiny all the time but life is too complicated to get that. Controlling the destiny means to know what will happen. In that sense the second position doesn't has a good support. But it doesn't mean that in the future we would know the way to decide our destiny. Today seems impossible, however, it depends on our own development and knowledge. It's the same when in the past people didn't believed that earth was like an sphere.
In the last 100 years the advances in different branchs of knowledge have increased dramatically. It's difficult (but not impossible) to predict how would be the world in 20 years.
Can you imaging that?

Think about this

Recently, I have heard that Macchu Picchu has been considered among seven wonders, the fisrt of the world. Well, actually it didn't surprise me because the way the incas did the 12 angle stone, for example, is almost a mistery. I know that a group of scientist of several countries tried to explain or reconstruct the possible ways the incas built their fantastic buildings. They tried to transport, cut and colocate the stones using modern maths and technology but the results weren’t succesful.
What could be learned from this?
People should follow the example of incas. This example shows us the possibilities that the human being has to develop. We are able to reach things that are considered impossible. Knowdlege is the key concept. The science is not absolute and is changing constantly. Things that are true now could be false tomorrow because of a new theory. It means that there are a lot of things that are waiting to be discovered …
It is a neccesity being prepared for the changes, the more we learn the more we can succeed. Maybe in Peru researching is a sacrifice but this is the way to open new possibilities to develop our society. The next generation heritage depends on our achievments.
I hope these reflexions motivate people to understand that we always have alternatives to discover new important ways to solve the complicated problems and contribute with the development of our culture. Also, it would insteresting to discuss and share more ideas as a way to learn more ...
