Is Fate really fixed? Or can it change?

There are no such things as mistakes, not in this universe. Maybe he really was the second coming of Christ, yes, yes, maybe we all are. Whatever happens does for a reason, and that reason is the teleological order of all things, the rhythm of the universe.

Can Fate be boring? Certainly; it sure was during life. Can it be needy, too? Yes; it’s nothing if not that—its raison d’être is to make sure what is meant to happen does.

Death always triumphs in the end. Over everything: even love.

What sort of a God would actually build someone up just to knock them down?
