Something to think about

This is dialogue of a character in a story I am writing. I am still tinkering around with it but please feel free to let me know what you think :)

 

Things do not happen for a reason, that is just an idea devised by a madman 

to be vindicated of his own insanity; no.

Destiny is but a mere word given power by the fools who use it.

We control our own lives.

Where we go, what we do, who we choose to keep in our company; it is all down to us.

To even entertain the notion that our "fates" are mapped out would be hysterical. 

As though change would not divert this, as if decisions would not get in the way.

Yesterday, nor today will effect your tomorrow however

 your mindset and determination can.
