Thorin Oakenshield doesn't care for elves. (firewasred) wrote in valarnet,
I do not believe it is an either or. Perhaps some things are meant to occur, but I do not believe the stars hold our destiny either.
Our lives are what we make them, at base. No matter what might be written, a strong heart can change the course of history in spite of all odds. Perhaps destiny is an overachiever, but I have never seen the validity of that.
