Stress is the only thing that is created when you try to alter fate, so it is our philosophy to take things as they come and trust to the powers that be. You may think it unsophisticated, but that is just as well, for what matters is not appearances, but reality, and we have the two things that matter most in life: peace and joy."

I arrived? I asked. "Fate," he answered, "All the happenings of the world are controlled by a force much greater than us, and it brings everything into completion when it is needed, no sooner and no later. Many civilizations try to out wit fate, but they cannot, and in the end they do its bidding. Not, however, in the way they had planned, and with more consequences than they would like, at which point they try to change fate again and undo those consequences, and soon they are in a downward spiral of such deeds. We recognize that we are controlled by fate, and instead of fighting it, we go along with it. We know that things will happen as they are meant to happen, and we knew that 500 years ago, so it was no great trial for us to work at our task for so long and not to know when things would be brought to completion. You see, if we had worried about it and attempted to change to course of events that history dictated, than we would have only given ourselves more work for the same end. JUST BEFORE I ARRIVED I ASKED FATE HE ANSWERED ALL THE HAPPENINGS OF THE WORLD ARE CONTROLLED BY A FORCE MUCH GREATER THAN US AND IT BRINGS EVERYTHING INTO COMPLETION WHEN IT IS NEEDED NO SOONER AND NO LATER MANY CIVILIZATIONS TRY TO OUTWIT FATE BUT THEY CANNOT AND IN THE END THEY DO ITS BIDDING NOT HOWEVER IN THE WAY THEY HAD PLANNED AND WITH MORE CONSEQUENCES THAN THEY WOULD LIKE AT WHICH POINT THEY TRY TO CHANGE FATE AGAIN AND UNDO THOSE CONSEQUENCES AND SOON AND SOON THEY ARE IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF SUCH DEEDS WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE CONTROLLED BY FATE AND INSTEAD OF FIGHTING IT WE GO ALONG WITH IT WE KNOW THAT THINGS WILL HAPPEN AS THEY ARE MEANT TO HAPPEN AND WE KNEW THAT FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO SO IT WAS NO GREAT TRIAL FOR US TO WORK AT OUR TASK FOR SO LONG AND NOT TO KNOW WHEN THINGS WOULD BE BROUGHT TO COMPLETION YOU SEE IF WE HAD WORRIED ABOUT IT AND ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF EVENTS AT HISTORY DICTATED THEN WE WOULD HAVE ONLY GIVEN OURSELVES MORE WORK FOR THE SAME END
