“Fate binds all”

I guess for me this quote is very ironic, because they say that fate decides weather who lives or who dies. Whenever I see an accident on the road, I can’t help but think who decides what happens to whom? Who dies? Who lives?

I know it sounds stupid, but whenever I’m driving and my auto lights are all off in the middle of the night, it seems like your life depends on fate; my mind keeps on running, filled with questions on what is going to happen? Am I going to be hit by another car? Or suffer from heart attack in the middle of the road?

You see, whenever I turn off my car lights and believe that I am not going to die while I am driving blind in the night and the path is like a never ending abyss of darkness, I am putting myself in the hands of fate. I am risking my life as if saying I’m ready to give up my mortal life.

If fate is true, then why I am still alive? And after all these years I never met any accident nor had a drastic night. I love gambling with death—a bizarre reason I use to turn off my headlights so I won’t see the path. I guess it is what you call free will.
