Professor Miguel Ángel Padilla speaks in an interesting online talk about this very interesting topic. We are all concerned about the future and trying to understand the why of things that happen in our present. Are they the result of chance or is there a logic that unites events and relates everything? Is there destiny? Why does what happens to me happen to me? This and many other questions have always been a topic of reflection and debate. In ancient times in the East, we find an idea, the theory of karma, closely linked to the idea of Dharma, which tries to explain life as an intelligent process of causes and effects in the course of an evolutionary purpose. In the West we also find similar ideas in Plato, who mentions the laws that govern the future: necessity and purpose. In the classics we also find concepts such as Providence and Destiny.
