Choice, not chance, determines your destiny. – Aristotle
Interpretation:
“You have been chosen to take this human birth. Just think: of the millions of cells that formed from your father’s sperm, a great benefactor chose your sole living cell to take on human form in your mother’s womb to attain immortal status.”
If Given the aforementioned facts, God’s choice grants every living cell the extremely rare opportunity of human birth. However, it is impossible for people born like this to choose such a rare opportunity as a choice for themselves.
People who have this unique and rare opportunity are able to determine their own fate if they view the present moment as a choice rather than a chance.
However, the next moment does not last forever for anyone! That is to say, every next moment available to each individual is a chance. Thus, chance determines fate.
However, even the subsequent moments that are available as a chance can determine their own destiny if they consider and act as a choice.
Thus, the human birth available to everyone is an opportunity; the present moments that arise in it are a choice; the future moments are again an opportunity; and when it becomes the present moment, it is a choice, and it is changing in everyone’s life.
Finally, choice determines one’s human birth, and by acting solely on the belief that choice is one’s birthright, one may win over fate with knowledge.
“Oththa thaRavoan uyirvaazhvaan matraiyaan seththaaruL vaikkap padum” According to the thiruvalluvar Thirukkural, such people are the ones who have missed the chance of being a human being and failed, i.e., not being put on the list of those who died, but rather those who chose the choice and passed, and therefore they will be included in the blessed people list.
