I knew someone was going to say something..LOL
I never said there wasn't. But I don't believe anybody other than ourselves chose how or where we go in life! But I also believe everyone has a lesson to learn in their lifetime and that lesson is what they struggle with their whole life.
I'm not going to get into the "how everything got started" arguement, all I'm saying is my belief is this.. I make my choices in life whether good or bad, I learn my own lessons by the path I chose. There is no set plan, but I believe depending on what path you take there will be differnet obstacles you will have to endure to get to another spot where you will again have to choose another path and so on. And ok if there is framework for all this I believe it comes from a higher power not necessarily "GOD".
