Destiny
From Wikiquote
Destiny refers to circumstances that are conceived of as inherent in the patterns of Reality, or a course of events which are often considered to be pre-determined or unalterable within passages of Time or Eternity. Some ideas about destiny include complex concepts of widely diverging alternative patterns of fate which are ultimately dependent upon very minor events, activities or decisions of those involved with them.
