destiny can be a set future determined by the current state of the present and the states of the past. think of it like a causal chain. if A hits B, then B will hit C, and then C will hit D. So the fact that A hits B will mean that eventually C is destined to hit D.
The Butterfly Effect. Since we have no way to experience those other realities where the same sequence has different results, we can only say that once our future becomes our present then our past, it was the future that resulted from past circumstances. But how can future events be "set"? How would we know?
