The Meaning of Fate

Q: "What is the meaning of fate, Mullah Nasruddin?"

MN: "Assumptions."

Q: "In what way?"

MN: "You assume things are going to go well, and they don't - that you call bad luck. You assume things are going to go badly and they don't - that you call good luck. You assume that certain things are going to happen or not happen - and you so lack intuition that you don't know what is going to happen. You assume that the future is unknown. When you are caught out - you call that Fate."
