9. Was it Rizal's choice to be a hero or a matter of fate and destiny?

  1. Both,because without effort destiny and fate would be useless.I can say it's also a choice because he had the chance to live and love freely but he still chose to die for his motherland.Remember when he was still a little boy, when his sisters laughed at him?He once told his sisters that someday when he die,people will make monuments and images of him.

  2. In my own perspective, it was a matter of fate and destiny because at the first place his main interest lay in the arts and sciences as well as literature and his profession as ophthalmologist. He has never thought of being a hero instead he devoted his life works on writings regarding rights for Filipino people. A matter of fate and destiny in a sense that he only did his writings because it was said to be his passion. His love and passion in writing brought him to be famous. And that made him a Hero

  3. Everyone is deserve to be a hero, in the case of Jose Rizal it was a matter of destiny, it just happened that it is his right time to be a hero because of his intelligence and love to his motherland.He sacrifice everything just to show to the people how Spanish tyrants abuse the poor Filipino people.

    Both, he is not just a hero but also a matter of fate and destiny because of his precise knowledge in poetry, drama, cultural anthropology, linguistics and his other learnings. He's not just a seeker of truth for truth’s sake and this marked him as a hero through his writings for his Filipino people.

    BOTH. In my opinion, it was Jose Rizal's choice to be our hero because of his nationalism.. love of country & love for his fellow filipinos, & it is his fate and destiny because he never planned to be a hero but because of his doings and sacrifices for all of us, being the national hero of the Phillippines was our sign of our gratitude to him.

  6. Everyone has a destiny, a fate that was decided for them from the moment they were born. For me it as a matter of fate and destiny. All he wanted was to liberate his people and motherland from being oppressed by the Spaniard friars and soldiers. He never thought about himself. He never planned these thing. All things just happened in a right time. He just did the best he can do on how to liberate his people and show how he loved his motherland.

  7. Rizal's has a matter of fate and destiny in his life, because of his experiences of the brutality of the spanish friar to his famil and to his motherland.Rizal had his fate to fight those Spaniards and Rizal's aim is to have a free country from the spaniards colonization.Rizal had hs fate because he love his motherland and it is his destiny and his life to protect and save his mother from evil Spaniards, because as Rizal believe that no one can make this to his motherland except him. And Rizal that after his being a hero there will an individual that follow his path to sacrifice his own life to his beloved country.

    Faith and destiny can never happen if Rizal didn't do anything for his beloved motherland, if he didn't right any of his well known novels, and if the Filipino people who read his novels didn't start any of their movements. For me its both. Without doing anything nothing will happen. and Rizal chose to do what he thought was right and became our national hero.

  10. Everyone of us have our on destiny in life but it is a matter of our choice of what we are right now. For me it was Dr. Jose Rizal choice to be a HERO and he was destined to be a HERO. Rizal choose to fight for our country even if he know that his life will be dangerous, because of his love for our country and countrymen he offer his life. He suffered too much but still he was persistent to get our freedom from the Spaniards.

    it was a matter of faith and destiny because rizal doesn't choose to be a hero but rather the filipino people choose him to become a hero. his writings is the only weapon that rizal use to lift up the rights of the filipino people. and it was his destiny to become a hero because he sacrifice all of his happiness for the filipino people but not for his intention to become a hero.

  12. it is faith and destiny that Rizal became a hero..he has no intention to become a hero of our motherland.his great love for the motherland push him to fight the Spanish colonization by his writings.he fight for the freedom of the Filipinos and the equality of the governization of the Spaniards to the Filipinos.

  13. Rizal didn't want to be called ahero he just wanted to free our country from the hands of the spaniards.Its a matter of fate and destiny that he became our national hero because of what he had done to our country.He bravely faces the circumstances of what he had done.He was willing to die for the freedom of our country. That's why it's not hischoice to be a hero but fate and destiny had it.

  14. For me its Rizal choice to be a hero because he sacrifice his life by public worship and service to Filipino people. He abandon his personal interests in order to think his country.He preferred to live far from his family and to sacrifice his personal affections just to follow his conscience in order to make his writings to awake Filipino nationalism.And he proved that the pen is mightier than the sword.So he deserves to be the national hero of the Philippines.

    For me, it was a matter of fate and destiny because he never thought to be a national hero, he could have earned considerable sums of money from his profession, and he could have lived relatively rich, happy, prosperous.But in him the needs of Filipino people is more important to him, because of his love to his motherland and fellow Filipino he sacrifice and give up his life.

  16. For me it was a matter of destiny because he only wants to fight and to give all Filipinos people a democracy a freedom. In a fact that he cant be feel comfortable seeing all Filipinos sacrifice. And he still fighting for truth eventhough his life will be atstake. in my own opinion making him hero was not belong to his plan. it was a matter of destiny because he pursue his writings for fighting the Spaniards. so for me it was destiny and for believing his Faith eventually.

  17. Rizal was a matter of fate and destiny to be a hero to our motherland because he was an exceptional man, unsurpassed by other Filipino heroes in talent, nobility of character, and patriotism.His life has been highly documented, the most documented in fact, of all the heroes in asia.Possessing a keen sense of history and an aura of destiny,Rizal himself kept and preserved for posterity his numerous poetical and prose writings, personal and travel diaries, scientific treatises, and hundreds of letters written to and recieved from his family, relatives, and enemies.

  18. In my opinion, it would be both.Heroes are extraordinary and have a characteristics that far beyond the capabilities of the average person from the moment of his birth. Rizal have those characteristics because of his works that open the minds of the Filipinos. He chose to be a hero because he did many good deeds and tried to accomplish his goals;to free his country. It was shown from Rizal's letters, and writings that he had planned his entire life down to the last detail.

  19. For me, everyone has a destiny in life. Rizal is not just a Hero but he has also a matter of fate and destiny because for me I believed by many that before we are born we make definite choices as to what we wish to learn, and the aim we want to fulfill during the coming life. It is a Spiritual decision which is rarely remembered once we are born, but in hindsight we often see that events and circumstances have led us unknowingly onwards towards our chosen destination. It is the Spiritual Will of the person, a deep inner need, something that drives us to do what seems impossible. It nurtures us with hope in our darkest moments, enables us to dream of better things, and resides in a place where we are destined to find our fulfillment.

    For me, Rizal being a hero was a matter of fate and destiny because he never think to be a hero when he sacrifice his life and love for our country.

  21. for me it was Rizal's choice to be a hero becuause he willingly wrote those novels and he allow himself to acquire knowledge for the benefit of the Filipinos.Even he encountered hardships he still pursue the things he wanted and in that, for me he was really eager to be a hero.

  22. rizal's to be a hero was a matter of fate and destiny and maybe his own choice because I bielieve that God created us for a reason and we have a purpose, and He has a plan for us. And that's why God created Rizal to be a hero, and it's Rizal's own choice to protect and save us from the bad people. And that's why people called him a hero because he sacrifice his life for his undying love for the motherland and for the freedom of the Filipino.
