Providence is usually seen as being kind: even when it sends suffering, this is accepted as being part of God's plan. Fate can be kind, but this is an unexpected gift; just as often, fate is cruel and makes people feel helpless. Destiny is more likely to give people a sense of power: people who have a strong sense of destiny usually believe that they are meant to be great or do great things. * providence通常被看作是善意的安排，即使苦难降临也是天意。fate可以是善意的，但那只是意外的恩赐；同样，fate又常是残酷的，会使人感到无能为力。destiny更多给人以力量的感觉。a strong sense of destiny指强烈的使命感，有使命感的人认为自己注定出人头地或成就伟业。
