but what if fate falls short

What if fate falls short?
If fate falls short, then the stitches are falling apart. If your life is a rag doll, then you have the pieces, but you can't piece them together. But if fate isn't there to stitch the pieces together, then what will happen? It seems impossible to do fate's job, but all the pieces are already there, so what is stopping you?
If fate falls short, then optimism is down the drain. If you can't believe that things will turn out okay in the end because fate has a plan, then there's little you can believe. How do you keep your spirits up?
If fate falls short, people will lose hope. Fate is perspective. Fate opens peoples' eyes to the pieces they already own to guide them in and out the stitches, winding in, winding out. So is fate just in the mind?

Perhaps fate only exists through the belief of others.
