DESTINY:

Although often used interchangeably, the words ‘Fate’ and ‘Destiny‘ have distinct connotations.

Fate is a power or agency that predetermines and orders the course of events. Fate defines events as ordered or inevitable and unavoidable.

Fate is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe, and in some conceptions, the cosmos.

Destiny is used with regard to the finality of events as they have worked themselves out; and to that same sense of destination, projected into the future to become the flow of events as they will work themselves out.

Fatalism refers to the belief that events fixed by fate are unchangeable by any type of Human agency. In other words, Humans can not alter their own fates or the fates of others.
