Karma, predestination, an inevitable happening, there are many names for it, but universally, it is referred to as Fate. Some may call it a limitation of our own free will; others, a push in the right direction. In our daily lives we feel that we are here for the purpose of others, for those who we love and for those whose fate is connected with our own. How this purpose is significant might not become obvious at first, or even while we are alive. It may be something like being the boss who fires the father so that the family has to move. The child introduces a male friend from her new home to a female friend from her old home, they fall in love, get married, have a child of their own, and this child develops a cure for cancer. If the boss hadn't fired the father, the couple wouldn't have met and their child wouldn't exist, much less cure cancer. The boss's service to mankind, and his purpose, was firing the father. Some purposes are going to be more obvious and others, less.
