Am I fated to exist ? That is the 64 thousand dollar question . What about other people ? Was Hitler fated to exist ? Was Michael Jackson fated to exist ? One day , a long time ago , a man and a woman decided to have sex and about 10 months later , Hitler was born . What IF the man and woman decided not to have sex ? Would Hitler still exist ? One can go nuts thinking about this questions .

Like Brownian motion, everything is a haphazard chance to happen, and what has happened in the past is merely chance.

Our lives are as much "Fated" as a smoke particle is, colliding with air molecules.

fated is just an excuses for human being to accept the current facts that they cannot changed.

Try to think about what would happen if the 'fate' changes your current existence into something non-existent hmm.gif

That depends whether you believe that the whole universe is a deterministic system or not.

Is the earth fated to exist? Is human fated to exist? Why mars have no life? We have no answer on all these too. Emotion affect that men and women decide to have sex and finally born Hitler. Human emotion is unpredictable. The creation of a good hitler and a bad Hitler is also decided by the emotion of Hitler. Not everything in this world can be solved by 1+1=2.

Problem here is that we're looking from our point of view. We have our own computer our own pattern finding device, the brain, that tries to make some sense of what pattern/stimulus it is accepting. Due to this we can never know that answer you are proposing. We are merely looking at this problem subjectively, and not objectively which accounts the universe and whatever else that I may be missing.

That is to my understanding, my own perspective on the problem.

There is a purpose for us to exist in this world. We live our life finding and looking for its purpose. And hopefully, at the end of the day, we are satisfied with all that we have done..

No.

Your existence is too of little if not insignificant at all when it comes to how the universe works.

Accidental existence? Not according to the karma / reincarnation theory. hmm.gif Everything exists for a reason. And the reason may be beyond our comprehension. hmm.gif
