What If…?

Ever wondered what would have happened if certain things happened and some things had not happened?
Not to insert a riddle here..but sometimes, events turn out to be in a certain fashion..and do you wonder what would have happened if things had been otherwise?
If you hadn’t confessed your love for that girl? if you had missed that bus? If you had smiled to that stranger?
Some people think that its all destiny , and whatever happened was supposed to happen…
I believe that we make choices and according to our choices we face the consequences…and if our choices were different, the consequences would be different too, no doubt?
Because , with something as complicated as the human race..things can’t simply have been so fixedly pre-planned…?
There has to be the element of shock and surprise, and of NOT knowing what lies ahead?
Of having to find out..isn’t that what life is all about?
So freewill? Or destiny?
Something to think about..!
