Fate and destiny


Some things in nature must remain a mystery to the most intelligent and enterprising investigators. Human knowledge has bounds beyond which it cannot pass. Universal knowledge is for God alone.
Why, then, torture yourselves with speculations as to destiny and will, fixed fate, and human responsibility?
These deep and dark truths you are no more able to comprehend than to find out the depth which buried beneath. Will you ever be able to hold the sun in your fist, and hold the universe in your palm?
Let us not strive to understand the infinite, but spend your strength in love.
What you cannot gain by intellect you can possess by affection.
You cannot penetrate the heart of the sea, but you can enjoy the healthful breezes which sweep over its bosom, and you can sail over its blue waves with propitious winds.

Job 38 : 16
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?
