[QUOTE="max314, post: 25913, member: 2817"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=blue] [SIZE=2][COLOR=Black] Indeed. But he's also given you the ability to influence your fate. This reminds me of something that once had me in hysterics for a good thirty minutes: truck drivers in India who drive on the most precarious mountain-side roads at night time with no headlights because they believe that whether or not they die is "God's will".
