Fighting Against Fate 绝对正确的楼主大概是在写fate的文章把,给你一篇吧 Fate--what is it? How does it relate to us? Can we ever really know how it affects our lives--our hopes and dreams? Ralph Waldo Emerson seems to address many of these questions, though he comes to a somewhat ambiguous conclusion. No matter how complete his analysis of Fate is, there are still elements that are uncertain, that he doesn't address, or that he questions himself--as if he is saying that there really is no way that we can understand the true complexity of this elusive issue.So, according to Emerson, we find ourselves in the great sea of Fate, buffeted by death, disease, destruction--all of the unexpected events that fill our lives. We blame Fate for our position in life, as if we could somehow become better or smarter if we had been dealt a different hand. We see only limitations around us (and within us). We don't see how those elements (negative as they may be) can make us stronger, forging our character into a better being. We seem to see ourselves in the care of some greater force, a Providence, when our lives go well; but when we are hungry and poor, with nothing to look forward to except more of the same, we create for ourselves a sort of Nobodaddy Fate--a malignant energy that rules our lives, forcing us into a restricting mold from which we can never escape.Blaming Fat is irrational and pointless, as Emerson points out; but we must have something to lay fault upon.
