  Fate is the same as destiny or it is different..
  Heard of the saying "you yuan wu fen" so which is the yuan and which is the fen...
  Fated to meet but not destined to be together?
  Destined to meet but not fated to be together?
  Need some more elaboration on this two sentences too...

  destiny decides who gets to stay

  There's no such thing as Fate or Destiny. Just Choices.
  It's just a trick of the mind.

  Fate is the bond that link two parties together.
  
  Destiny is foster by choice and decision, (influence by behavior and personality), in turn create a route you walk.

  okay.. fate is the consequence of destiny. when you look at "destiny", you are full of hope but when you look at "fate" its a downright lost of hope... eg.. "resigned to fate" vs "working towards your destiny".
  
  anyways, fate can be traced as a "demon" in myths/legends and whatever not good. in fact there is a demon named "fate" in some super old stories which is constantly reminded in modern dramas and such.
  
  remember, the three witches of fate than spin that thread where the third witch will cut it? like the ones in macbeth.
  
  get the drift?

  Although I dun believe in this stuff, here's what i think :
  
  Fate - it's pre-arrange but with no purpose. 'Fated to be lovers'
  Destiny - It's pre-arrange but with a purpose. 'Destined to be King'

  we may be victims of fate, bt more often than not, we are the ones jepoardising our own destiny.
