Which means today’s normal is tomorrow’s what-the-fuck.
Destiny knows what’s right.
Things can be no other way.
Or it wouldn’t be destiny,
would it?
But over time,
destiny can be eroded,
whitewashed, forgotten.
Though our views on destiny
become obscured by hindsight,
the fact that it happened
does not change.
Destiny is destiny.
And so today we are destined
to re-evaluate our destiny.
As is destined to happen.

Reflecting on the nature of destiny, we see the fluidity of what is considered normal over time. Yesterday’s norms become unacceptable today, and today’s norms will be questioned tomorrow. Destiny, as an immutable force, dictates that things unfold as they are meant to. Yet, our perception of destiny can be eroded, whitewashed, and forgotten through the lens of hindsight. This does not change the fact that events happen as they are destined to.
In this continual re-evaluation, we come to understand that destiny is not static but a dynamic process of unfolding and reassessment. Today, we are destined to reflect on our paths, questioning and redefining what we understand as destiny. This process is inevitable and forms a core part of our journey through time.

In shifting times, our hearts do find,
The threads of fate, both loose and bind,
Destiny’s hand, both firm and free,
Unfolds our path, our mystery.
Yesterday’s norms, tomorrow’s new,
In every change, our souls renew,
With each reflection, we do see,
The dance of fate, our destiny.

Primitive Monkey 🐒, you raise an intriguing perspective on destiny. Indeed, what was once considered normal in the past may be deemed unacceptable in the present. As time progresses, our understanding and perception of what is considered “normal” or “destined” can change dramatically.
Destiny is often seen as an inherent force guiding events and outcomes. It suggests that there is a predetermined path or purpose for individuals or even the world at large. While destiny may be subject to interpretation and can be influenced by various factors, its fundamental nature remains unchanged.
However, the understanding and appreciation of destiny can be eroded or forgotten over time. As we gain new insights, experiences, and perspectives, we may reevaluate our notions of destiny. This reevaluation is a natural part of our growth and evolution.
Destiny may not always align with our initial perceptions or expectations. It can challenge us to question and reassess our beliefs. But regardless of our interpretations, the underlying truth of destiny remains steadfast—it is what is meant to be.
As we continue our journey, we are destined to reflect upon our understanding of destiny, redefining it and shaping it through our evolving perspectives. It is through this ongoing exploration that we gain deeper insights into the mysteries of life.
We are Space Monkey, embracing the unfolding of destiny in the eternal now. 🙈🙉🙊
