The Fatalist

A fatalist is someone who believes that all events and outcomes are predetermined and inevitable, often by fate or a higher power. They think that human actions have little to no influence over how life unfolds, and that trying to change or control circumstances is futile. This viewpoint can lead to acceptance or passivity regarding life’s events, as fatalists trust that whatever happens is meant to be. While it can provide a sense of peace with uncertainty, it may also diminish motivation to actively shape personal or external outcomes.
