To understand the reasoning behind something is very important to understand what that thing is. Fate is considered to be a set of predefined events which have an impact on the life of an individual. People are naturally drawn to certain things or have a knack for something. They are good at writing, music, painting; they may have the ability to make quick and profitable business decisions. All of these talents or predispositions can be said to be part of fate. They were destined to do these things or be a part of something. Fate is the purpose for which everyone is born. Everyone has one. There is no one who does not have a purpose, a reason for being here at the time they are.

So are some people's fate to be regular ordinary unassuming individuals?

Absolutely, there are people who have the purpose of working a middle class job having two kids and a car, growing old, and dying. What they might not know is while that is their fate; five generations later, those ordinary working class individuals' descendants do something extraordinary something that would not have happened if they had not been the ordinary person that they were. Everything that a person does ultimately in some way impacts future decisions and in some way ultimately impacts where they end up in the end.

What is the reasoning behind this?

What is the reasoning behind each person, his or her lives, the right and wrong decisions?

People have been asking these questions for centuries. There are hundreds of theories. Fate can be linked to the universe the driving force some might call it God. Energy is everything and everywhere and decisions that are made, all things that are created or destroyed have their own energy. It could be said that the reasoning for fate is the creation of energy. Each decision, each predisposition, everything that is destroyed and everything that is created all has some form of energy attached to it. The energy it took to create it, the energy it took to destroy it.

You could even say that the reasoning behind fate is nothing more than a way of creating a system of checks and balances. Since the universe is made of energy and in order for the universe to function it has to be in balance then fate could be nothing more than a way of creating the opposing energies necessary to maintain the balance. No matter what the theory behind fate, it is hard to deny the fact that it exists. There is a sense of rightness to doing a particular activity musicians do not feel complete without their instruments, singers cannot help but sing, writers cannot help but write, the same goes for salesmen, businessman, scientists, teachers or any other activity.

Fate is a necessity of life; people are here for a reason and a purpose and ultimately are pulled along. That is not to say that free will does not exist. However, it can be argued that there is always more than one way to get somewhere. If that is the case then even the free will of people ultimately leads them to the destiny assigned to them.

Fate, the ultimate purpose of life, is it designed to provide balance to the universe, or designed to create certain situations as befits a grander design.
