What is fate?
From the present moment, practitioners know fate follows from this action, while worldly people, thinking they have foresight, believe fate is hard to grasp. Pessimistic people think fate is determined, superstitious people think fate is a blessing, and of course, there are others who completely disregard the concept of fate.
But looking back from the end of life, fate is merely a seemingly fixed line.
In Shen Yue's era, many films offered a fatalistic explanation of fate, suggesting that no matter how you change, you cannot escape the cycle of destiny.
It's very pessimistic, but it also holds certain practical significance.
Habits and character determine the direction of a person's life. Most people try to nurture habits and form character, which unintentionally solidifies their life.
In cultivation, what changes are mostly the foundations already formed.
