Lazy-bones Paradox - Back to the Paradoxes

 

If destiny designed a master plan, which defines everything that is to happen, isn't it useless to for example go to a doctor? If I am ill and it is my destiny to regain health, than I will regain health whether I visit a doctor or I don't. And if I shall not be healthy again, than I will not with or without help.

If I am ill and destiny has a definite plan for me, than it is useless to go anywhere.

How could you question the presented opinion?

Every thing we do defines destiny. Destiny itself is a paradox. Everything is organized and written. We are helpless and we can do nothing to change it. If you dont go to doctor and become more ill its also destiny and if you go to doctor and gain health it is also destiny. Because you dont know what is going to happen.

Actually i can see why this is perceived as a paradox. For one thing, if destiny did actually exist, then there would be nothing you can do to stop it. Let's say if you were to try and stop something from happening, then you'll be the one to have caused it in the first place. It will just loop back around. Also, for the Whovians here, it's basically a fixed point in time. Theres nothing you can do to stop the future that has already been set into motion.

Casual Reasoning.

a much simpler liars paradox:

 

"This statement is a lie"

 

if its telling the truth then its lying

 

if its lying then its telling the truth
