Destiny

One thing that sparked my interest was the part about destiny. Confucius says that we have no control over our destiny and that it is predetermined before we are born. The one part that  I do agree with is that we have no control over the social status that we will be born in to. Everything after we are born I believe that we control the rest of it. For example, if we become good or evil. I believe this because it is human nature to do better than the persons parents did. Which leads to a person being able to change their social status after they are born. A person can change their social status by attending college and getting more than one degree. This is because the more degrees a person has the more money they will potentially make. A person can also change how long they live. For example, if they don't smoke, eat right, and exercise the chances that they will live longer are increased exponentially. Destiny as Confucius says does not exist. Nothing about the future is set in stone before a person is born, except for what they are born in to.
