Fair that it is a sensitive subject, as is religion, but lately I have becoming more and more curious in it, and still increasing and for good reason too. Do you believe in fate (and/or destiny)? When you would have asked me this two years ago, my answer would be 'no,' after perhaps a second of hesitation. Would you ask me now, I would be hesitating to answer and honestly, I wouldn't be sure if I was supporting that answer too.  It feels like I've been tested by someone, or something at some times I hold dear to myself and several major things has happened to me (or around me) which couldn't be coincidence at that specific time. When I only think of it for a moment, I could easily come up with four major points, which some of them really changed my life (for good).  About six months ago, I was hesitating of switching schools because I wanted a 'fresh start.' I wanted to start a new school year without any familiar faces around me and no familiar enviroment either. When I consulted a teacher about it, he supported my choice with a bit of mixed feelings - the teacher and I were quite fond on each other, we always took our time to chat for a while when we had the chance, quite a pleasant guy, it's unfortunate he doesn't give class to me anymore - but thought it might be a good choice for me. A second reason why I wanted to go there was because there was a very slight possibility that I could follow a new study course there - which eventually wasn't true. Eventually, I didn't decide to go and got in the same class at my old school with a few old friends, which I am quite happy with. However, a very short time ago, one of them mentioned that she wanted to leave to a different city and another school, which another classmate mentioned he wanted to do so too. A day after that, I heard from another classmate that she wanted to leave too and another classmate already left. Not even a day later I overheard two other friends who were hesitating of staying in this school. A few days (2 days, to be exact) after all that, I heard that a friend was planning of leaving to a different school next year. Finally, another friend mentioned that he was planning of quitting school (again) this year. This leaves me with exactly two 'friends.' This all occured in a single week of time. I am convinced that I have not been so blind to not notice them all considering to leave, nor am I really convinced it was coincidence that they all suddenly are discussing this. DO know that most of those I mentioned have (practically) no contact with each other. I am pretty confident in it when I say that most of them don't know of each other that they want to, or rather, are considering to leave. This is, of course, the most lighthearted reason I can think of, but there are numerous of others, but I consider those more private. What do you believe yourself?</blockquote>
