The definition of Wyrd quoted from web page
https://www.norsemyth.org/2016/11/wyrd-will-weave-us-together.html?m=1
"The word wyrd itself comes from the Anglo-Saxon. In the main volume of An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary by Joseph Bosworth and T. Northcote Toller, the first translation given for wyrd is “what happens,” followed by “fate, fortune, chance.” In the dictionary’s supplement, additional translations are presented: “what is done, a deed, an action.”
Wyrd is the tapestry of human life each one of us are a thread. We have no control of when or to whom we are born to and we have no control over when we die, outside of causing our own deliberate death day. I like the way Patricia M. Lafayllve in a Practical Heathen's Guide to Asatru explained, it she said the wyrd was the fence around the pasture, we could move any way we wish with in the fences.
The three horns names are Urd “What Once Was” (Old Norse “Urðr”), Verdandi “What Is Coming into Being” (Old Norse “Verðandi”) and Skuld “What Shall Be” (Old Norse “Skuld”)
What we did yesterday effects today, what we do today affects tomorrow. There is a lot of power in understanding how much control we can have over our life, how much of our current circumstances were our choice for better or worse. Of course there are things that will happen that we cannot change but we can control how prepared on mental or physical levels we are when the unexpected happens.
No gods plan, no bigger picture, no devils or demons in your head. Not your past, or your parents. It's all you, you create or destroy yourself.

Most ordinary people believe that the choices they make somehow determine the outcome of their "fate." If in fact these pretend time stories disappeared from existence and people knew this to be true the entire species would probably quickly become extinct. Why? because they would blow each other up, kill themselves.. etc.
For some reason, society needs values in order to endure.. without these values, the end of mankind may very well cease to survive. .
likely all living things on a molecular level are wired the same and cannot control what they do or believe. The "choices" people make are neither unique or meaningful. If given infinite chances to change a bad decision the outcome would always become the same. It's just how "we" are wired.the clash between "fate" and "free will" are timeless. Likely neither exist but people create them for their own well being.
