well, we had a discussion about this in class today, what the differnce between fate and destiny is, since there barely ever is a word with the EXACT same meaning.

I suggested that fate was more like something that happens to you once, like a car accident where no one is actually responsable for and you would say that was fate. Deutsch: Schicksalsschlag.

While destiny is concerning the entire life of a person. One's destiny, that can be the future or something you are meant to do in you life or meeting a person who changes you forever or falling in love with someone forever. Yeah bascially destiny is something linked to forever.

so, now I was wondering if anyone could give any further advise on the question!
