Well, one good result of that philosophy is that there's never any point in getting mad at anybody for something they do because it's not anything they chose to do of their free will but did because it was fated. So it's not their fault if they are mean to you or insult your or misinterpret what you say here or whatever. No more point in getting mad at that than there is in getting mad because a tree is green instead of orange. OTOH, of course, if you do get mad it's not because you chose to but because it was fated to be that way, and you have no control over whether you respond to a message by being accepting or by getting mad. So those times you got mad at me I now realize I shouldn't be upset about because you didn't have any choice, you had to get mad and it's silly of me to blame you or be upset with you. But of course neither was I able to control the fact that I got mad at you for getting mad at me. It was fated that I would do so. I had no choice. We are both bound on the wheel.
