five seconds of history

Ouch!  pain flies through my foot.  I curs my luck as I scream of pain.  I can feel my self starting to tip towards earth.  I can already feel my self hitting the ground.  I suddenly become aware of the people calling my name.  I see a bug meandering along on the ground.  About half a foot to the right, I notice a strange looking flower that looks like it has purple polka dots.  I feel like I see everything in little glimpses instead of as one picture.

Why am I still falling, I think to my self.  I should have hit the ground after about a second.  Instead, it takes forever to reach the ground.  When I finally reach the ground, I feel the grass below me and think why it could not soften the landing more.  I lay there fore the second longest second of my life.  When I look up, I see the finish line ten feet in front of me.  I have broken my ankle ten feet from the end of the race.

statments

If something is destined to happen, it will happen without your interference.
If you are in a position of power, you are happy.

I neither agree or disagree with the first statement.  If something is destined to happen then it will happen weather you interfere or not.  If you interfere to make it happen then you were destined to interfere, and if not then you were destined not to interfere.  Destiny is what will happen regardless.  What happens next Is determined by weather you interfered or not.  In Macbeth, Macbeth interferes and becomes king and is then killed because of it.  In almost all stories regarding destiny of a sort, it is the trying to interfere with destiny that makes it come true.  I say just ignore it because you cant avoid it.

The second statement I strongly disagree with.  Power corrupts.  People who have power often want more power and are scared of the power being taken away from them.  If you have power you are only happy if every one likes you.  Macbeth kills Duncan because he wants to be king instead of him.
