"Destiny"

It is said,"co-incidence decides whom u meet in life,ur heart decides with whom u want to stay in life,but only destiny decides who gets to stay in ur life"!I believe this or not is a diff story!What I am thinking at this point of time is,why do people always relate destiny to "fate","something bad","something they dont want but cant avoid" likewise in negative path.The dictionary meaning of destiny says:
(n.) That to which any person or thing is destined; predetermined state; condition foreordained by the Divine or by human will; fate; lot; doom.
(n.) The fixed order of things; invincible necessity; fate; a resistless power or agency conceived of as determining the future, whether in general or of an individual
Also synonyms to destiny include :Fate, Fortune, Lot, Luck, Portion!

I have never heard anybody saying "I was destined for this" when something great happens to them!
Another exciting thing is "destiny" is a popular female name!please see

This is the second link I came across in less than 3 hours today when we were browsing for the popularity of our names and got this:

so where were we....yeah destiny,so I was wondering today why people relate "destiny" with such a negative understanding to "supposed to be" the "sweetest" moment of ones life - MARRIAGE !!

Lol ..... u know where they treat destiny negative side, probably in marriage ;) (.. kidding) ....

Hmm good thought ...... destiny probably on negative note coz of obvious reason, the reason is "you say you were destined when you come across something which you didnt want or thought of." well ideally even the heaven would not be acceptible if you didnt want to have it. So I feel, its the destiny of word "destiny" for being used like that :D

destiny...fate go hand in hand. At times, destiny AND fate r used in the wrong context. But I believe watever I am today is coz destiny. I mean for both gud AND bad.
