What Is Fatalism?
Fatalism is the belief that events are predetermined by fate or destiny, and that humans cannot do anything to change them.
Fatalists believe that everything that happens has already been decided by some higher power, and there is nothing we can do to change it. This can lead to a feeling of resignation and hopelessness, as people may feel that there is no point in trying to change anything because it will not make a difference.
Another term that is used interchangeably with fatalism is determinism. This is the belief that all events are determined by causes that have already been set in motion.
