Realising synchronicity of outcome and cause thinking

I understood the title and embodied it. Is everything destiny or are there differences, differences, and individuality from person to person? When it comes to learning about life, I think the differences and differences between popular people who try to learn are factors of parents and environments since birth. If you trace that parent's ancestors back to the creation of the universe, I think everything is fate. I felt like that when it came to the essential extreme argument without adding any other added value. I'm ashamed and sorry if I said something out of line, but I'd like you to point it out. I think this is how I hit it now, and I think it was done as much as possible.

That might be the case

It could all be fate.
The birth of humanity, the birth of Buddha, and the fact that I am writing the answer now may all be fate.
I don't think your idea is wrong either.
Even though it's fate, no matter which one you take, it's all a series of miracles.
On top of that miracle, we too were born.
They are miraculously being kept alive even now.
We can't help but be thankful for that miracle.
Every human being has endless complaints, such as if they were a little more handsome, if they were a little richer, or if they were a little smarter, or if they were a little healthier, but I want to appreciate and cherish the miracle we are living in this way now.
You may not be able to change your destiny.
However, I think it is possible to move your body with a mind to walk towards a better future, without being held captive only by future fate that you cannot know.
Isn't that also fate?

It doesn't matter at all

 I don't really understand the definition of words, so I'm at a loss when they say it so easily.
... In other words, do you assume that “destiny” is determined by “someone or something”? Are you assuming that it can only be expressed with the word “destiny”?
In my opinion, “I don't think it would be the former. If it's the latter, “I think” maybe. We, the Jodo sect, also say, “Amida will save us” and “with what power?” If asked, “With a mysterious power. They say, “It's beyond our reach and beyond our thoughts and words.”
However, if you say “it is fate that you think, make decisions, and make an effort,” just let them do it quietly. With this definition, even “trying to defy fate” is included in “fate,” right?
So, I think “misuse of the word destiny = meaningless usage.” So, “I don't care about it at all” is my answer. I can't even determine what is “added value” and what is “the limit of essence.”

About questions

Is there subjective decision making (as an individual) within the workings of the larger universe?
I'm going to answer that with understanding the point.

Well, the answer is yes and no at the same time.

1) Action from space (I think the “destiny” you are referring to indicates this.) When the direction of subjective human decision-making matches, these two (Yes/No) are established without contradiction. This is because the will of the universe = my will and the will of the universe plus my will, and my intention will no longer exist by itself.

2) When this is not the case, “action from space” is misunderstood as “subjective decision making,” and conversely, “subjective decision making” is misunderstood as “action from space.” And then chaos ensues. Therefore, it can be said that it is impossible to distinguish between the two.

1) happens under conditions where you have given yourself the power to make decisions about your life. 2) occurs under conditions where it is abandoned.

Incidentally, the realisation or synchronicity of thoughts refers to phenomena that can occur when moving from 2) to 1). Also, ascetic practice in Buddhism indicates a transition from 2) to 1).

... sorry for being so stiff! Well then, the second half. I'll talk about it from a different angle.

What exactly is your “destiny”, or “action from outer space”?

Simply put, “Please express that you are also part of the universe with materials given to you.”

That's it.

It's a snake foot, but if you use this in a Buddhist way of speaking, it says, “Man is born a Buddha. It means “be aware of it by continuing your ascetic practice.”

Now, the “given material” referred to here is individuality (including environment, ability, social events, etc.) when born into this world.

And how are we going to process it? This is guided by the “subjective decision making” mentioned earlier. In other words, you have the freedom to cook whatever you like with the given ingredients, so to speak.

Therefore, home environments, etc. are only part of the materials, and how to process them is subject to subjective decision-making arrangements.

... Well, to put it bluntly, the fact that I asked the question on this site is a complex of the “materials” you were given plus your “subjective decision making.”

I hope it's helpful.

You and I are connected by roots!

If fate were decided, people would lose hope of striving for their goals.
Blaming parents and the environment is simply creating an excuse to run away from life's challenges.

How did the universe come about?
Now is the season to see the Andromeda Galaxy!

I felt like you were a very worried person.
