Love spells v.free will

also, I Personally do not subscribe to destiny, which is ultimately Pre-Destination; that one's life is pre-determined by the Gods/ Forces to me seems rather nonsensical, but there are people who subscribe to this. And they are not wrong in doing so.
I am the one who makes the choices, and thus chart and navigate my own destiny; I am the one who must deal with the consequences and end results of my actions. Pre-destination also seems to me to be a cop-out from personal accountability. I could be completely mistaken, but that is what "destiny" does imply by it's very name.

I appreciate the clarification rapta. And i can also see that you empathize with the brokenhearted. My point is that if you are experienced enough to cast an effective love spell then you already know about the consequences. And if you are not, then the spell will fail. Getting more or less than you bargained for has nothing to do with the spell, its just the coincidence of life.

This is true, Brite. A more experienced caster will definitely be more aware of the gravity. And have more ability to focus the energy in the direction desired. And even increase the odds of success in the final outcome. But once energy has been released, we have no way of knowing that it did as intended 100%, or can make a solid guarantee (yes, guarantee) that it will do as intended. We HOPE it will, obviously. But then again, say it does work 100% ? How can we say beyond the shadow of a doubt there will be no ramifications, good or bad? We in essence have disturbed the balance of ebb/ flow in the universe somewhere. The Universe does have a system of checks and balances, and the disturbance of free-will has to come out of somebody's account, so to speak. Once again, just a viewpoint, not an assertion.

And I neglected to mention there is one common "destiny" (pre-determined) for one and all: Death. This is really the only thing that can truly be classified as "destiny"; I mention this not to be a killjoy, but rather to really sum up destiny in a nutshell. Whether or not our souls travel somewhere I know not.
But our lives do leave an indelible mark on the universe, which time cannot erase, and can be defined by the course of actions taken while alive. Thus, if we choose to practise the binding of others,(selfish in nature)for instance, rather than healing them (noble and giving)when the need arises, what are we chiseling into the wall of time? Just food for thought, the view of one old man. I humbly apologise if I come off as harsh or dogmatic, which I am not. I just tend to view things from a more practical and utilitarian angle than some. Peppered with reasoning that includes science and logic, but not so rigid that it can be inflexible or narrow.

Fate and destiny are two different things. Destiny can be changed. Fate cannot.
