Abstract

If we presume that fate does exist, then, is there one kind of fate or multiple kinds? Shall people treat different kinds of fate the same, or differently? The Duality of Fate Theory elaborates on these questions. This theory insists that, humans are born with li (rational principle) and a benevolent nature.
