Framed by choice, or by destiny?

In short, to the Western mind, every situation is framed by choice. The question is usually What happens next? -- and therefore oriented to prospect. To the Filipino mind, on the other hand, the question seems to be more around What was it that pre-ordained us to this situation? -- and therefore oriented to retrospect.
Prospect implies a desire to control, whereas retrospect inclines towards resignation.
