It is not surprising, therefore, that even in our supposedly enlightened and objective age, many people still believe that their situation in life, the outcome of their daily affairs, and their ultimate destiny are all controlled by fate and that there is little they can do about it.
Ņemot to visu vērā, nav brīnums, ka arī mūsu laikos, kaut gan tos mēdz uzskatīt par izglītības un informācijas laikmetu, daudzi joprojām tic, ka apstākļus un notikumus viņu dzīvē un viņu darbības iznākumu nosaka liktenis un ka no viņiem pašiem nekas daudz nav atkarīgs.
