性格决定命运究竟是不是谬论?

性格决定命运究竟是不是谬论?

谢邀。

一条路,左边是熊掌,右边是鱼。

喜欢熊掌的人选了熊掌,喜欢鱼的人选了鱼。

选熊掌的人又面对面包和蛋糕的选择,选鱼的人又面对粥和饭的选择,于是人流再次疏散……

走得远了回头看时,不同路上的人就是各自不同的命运。

人随时随地都在做选择,性格会决定你选哪条,而路上所经历的一切,又随时在塑造你的性格。

人又总是会选择相对最优解——比如,某些命运之路可能经济上未必合算,但会让人获得额外的心灵慰藉(安全感,舒适感,之类)。

所以到最后,人的命运,就是因为自己的倾向、性格和爱好,一路选择出来的。

所以,是的,性格决定选择,而选择决定命运,就是这样。

顺便附弗罗斯特先生的诗。在我看来,这是对性格、选择和命运最好的诠释了。

他的The Road Not Taken,就是我们因为性格而未去尝试的命运。

The Road Not Taken

ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
