fate

There is no such thing as an independent observer who can stand on the sidelines watching nature run its course without actually influencing it or being influenced by it.

What this means is, that even if one does not act on a course of events but just watches it, that act of watching alone can change the course of events.

This maybe difficult to believe in the first instance, and this is largely on account of the fact that our brains have been wired to look at our environment with a Newton's concepts of physics.

We believe on account of Newtons law's that if we know the beginning of an event then we can predict its end; even if there is an external force acting on the event, then if we have sufficient data on that external force we can extrapolate how it could affect a system and thus determine its end.
The Newtonian concept of physics have led us to believe things are all determined from the onset. Our presence or absence cannot change or alter the course of events.
Everything is determined.

But if this is true, then our presence is not required as events continue to unfurl irrespective of our presence or cognition. So if we were not required then to what would events unfurl to, rather if events are independent of us then what use of the events.

However this being not the case, our presence should necessarily amount to something for what need of a creation if it has no part to play in the events that play.

Which bring us back to square one where our presence can affect the course of fate.
This immediately puts the onus on us where we need to know how our presence does affect our fate.
