What is Meant to Be?

If the term destiny is something that's meant to be

I can't say that it can't exist, only that it should be 

Fate, a misleading portent, a lie to suggest its true

We're meant in our one life to live to please others

Being moral, kind, or being generous are all good

If I've destiny, my reason to exist, does it ever end

Or am I held in destiny's hand until the bitter end

“Life is not like water. Things in life don't necessarily flow
over the shortest possible route.” Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
