                               “All men are fatalists as they look back on things."

 

 

    Richard Taylor was born on November 5, 1919, and lived until October 30,2003. He was an American Philosopher and a beekeeper. As a professor, he taught at three universities and also wrote many books about philosophy including his mostly known book on Metaphysics. Taylor owned 300 bee hives and also wrote books and the experience of being a bee keeper and techniques in The Comb Honey book and The Joy of Beekeeping. This quote means whatever happens is the only thing that could happen, fate. What happens in the past cannot be changed, but fatalists realize that nothing else could have happened in that situation. My brother’s friend was about to get married, when his fiancée came out about her affair two weeks before the huge weeding. He was devastated but realized it was fate, it was meant to be. He and my brother went out on what was supposed to be his big day; and he had met the girl of his dreams. We can’t dwell on what we aren’t in control of; we can move on and hope for the best.
