Lately I have been hearing people throw around the phrase It's all part of a greater plan an awful lot. I normally don't have issue with religion, but something about those words grouped together bothers the hell out of me. The people that tend to say it aren't focused on the Chaos Theory, they are focused on fate imposed by a higher being that has made some amazingly complex plan that we could never understand it. I have heard a story similar to this, it is called Doctor Who. He looks human, but is a time lord that can see what actions effect the future and in what way. Of course he doesn't tell people, he just puts them in situations where they realize they can take care of business on their own.
Even in the case of that beloved character, it is still maddening. Think of it. You are told to go make toast despite hating it. There wouldn't ever be a reason aside from this person indicating that it should be done at this point in time. Anyone could easily follow it, but a good question to ask is Why.
They won't say that it is all part of the plan, they shouldn't at least. Instead, they could lie or be honest and give a brief reason. To assume that we should blindly follow some unknown plan is questionable because then a higher being, unlike the Doctor at this point, are forever prisoner to this "grand plan."
Just Remember: We are free and inhabit a world were amazing things come in both large and small sizes. The only downside is we have one shot at all this. Let us own up to what we do and/or don't, not hold ourselves back because someone else may want us to.
