VASSALLO
ALFRED
POET
ON FATALISM
The attitude that roams in my mind accepts the inevitable
Whatever happens to me is decreed to happen
By accepting this belief I may be taking life for granted.
I believe the development of this deduction is a fact
It can be found in the execution of destiny.
The similarity with determinism,
It is helpful for me to make a distinction.
It can be represented as compatible with moral responsibility,
Yet fatalism If I understand it correctly.
I would reduce practical ethics to nothing but the actual course of events.
Unlike myself, most people of action are inclined to fatalism others are disposed of thought and believe in providence.
I believe conclusively that fatalism comes to me clearly;
It is the lazy man's way of accepting the inevitable.
