Are we the victims of fate, puppets in the drama,and God does not will it or provide for it and we are the authors of our joy and sorrow ?

A few more days to go for the year 2018 to dissolve into current history..In two months time if god wills I will complete the sweet sixties..how the time has moved so fast and how the ageing process is more real than what we can bargain for
I want to read more  but the time is invested in writing.. If only I had spent the time wisely in the last five decades .I will not have more regret and ease myself on an easy chair and read both Tamil and my subject..That was not destined to be ...It is all fate eventually..which is wise and benovolent sometimes and cruel and wicked at other times .Despite its all pervasive nature we survive and thrive.

Kural makes a lot of reference, how  the fate  leads the path and draws the road map..Is fate the culmination of the good and the bad we do and or have done in the previous birth? a kind of ripple effect or butterfly effect of chaos and complexity theory ?who gives authority to it ? Does the bad ruler and so many bads among various walk of life will ever get punished ..?

Its dynamics and rational will remain a mystery and only the exalted saintly souls will have an answer.Are we simply the puppets in the drama ? No free will ! what is the role of knowledge and our sense of discrimination ?

The author of kural gives some hope and consolation.. Blaming it all on fate all the time and remainig idle will not help...Earnest efforts and prolonged laboring and hard work- not just physical but also brain triggered  will at least give wages of labour and surmount all the adverse effects of destiny.. Will not God conspire to help to safeguard all those good and honest to g..et their due for the honestly expended energy..

The moral universe is shrinking; corruption is rampant. People without substance or scholarship, devoid of charector- absolutely useless shallow and sadistic creatures, not having any concern for the common man get elevated to power and they indulge in extravagant life style at the cost of exchequer..Destiny driven rogue elements take the countries to ransom and push themselves to the forefront , relegating the honest and good to the background...
 when asked about this Vallvar says, "I do not know the answer. It needs to be researched and investigated"
