What Perry is saying is that, in life you never know what will happen next and you never know if it will be good or bad, but there will always be something next; which is true. But, Perry also implies that if something is meant to happen then it will happen, people already have a destiny and we can not change it, one way or another we will face that destiny.
I disagree. I believe that we make our own future through our own actions, there is no destiny that has been predetermined for us, we choose what we get out of life and that depends on what we put in it.
But, to make a connection to last week, the way we are raised ( nature vs. nurture) and our environment impact the way we act from an early age which, in a way, determines how we will react to other problems throughout our lives. Our actions are not predetermined but our endings are connected to our beginnings. |

I agree with Seth in the fact that our endings are attached to our beginnings. We get out what we put into life and it is through our actions and experiences who we become down the road. Also going back to last week's discussion, Perry is supporting the nature side of the nature vs. nurture debate in this excerpt. I disagree with Perry and support Seth's claim that we are who we are through our many decisions in life. We are born with the genetic potential to be something in our future, but what we make of it is based on our life experiences. We do not have a preconceived plan for our lives, but rather a plan that is created as we live our life and face the many choices that will create who we are.

Sarah I disagree with you slightly. I believe that we have a preconceived path but our choices lead us down different forks in the road. I agree with you Seth that our endings connect with our beginnings but it depends on where you start. Tying back to last week, if someone starts out with nothing, solely nature and no nurture yet they end as a CEO or someone who has a strong positive impact then they've defeated the odds and were meant to be where they are. That hard path was laid for them and they've followed it graciously and accepted their fate/destiny. But if they've started out with plenty of nurture but no natural catastrophes in their life, they may hit a bump in the road and completely collapse. That was not their destiny, that was a wrong turn in their road and it still moves on without them. It's their responsibility to get back on that path and follow it to their true ending.

I agree with Seth in that our beginning are connected to our ending, but Perry is technically right in saying that he can't escape the future he is always advancing through the dimension of time and can not go in any direction but forward. Also every moment in time exist at the same time so technically the future is already laid out in front of us. The easiest way to visualize this would be looking at time as a euclydian 4th dimension always present in the fabric of space time. For those of you who don't no what that is I am going to explain it another way. Think of space time as a 3d object the shape of a complete Jenga tower with no pieces missing that begins on the table and rises to an infinite height. It's height is time and every square plane that exist within the tower represents the universe at that point in time. All of the planes exist in the tower at the same moment just as all of time already exist.
I apologize if I gave anyone a headache.
