inevitabilities
What must happen
Inevitabilities are things certain to happen, outcomes that cannot be avoided or prevented.
The word often appears in discussions of fate, mortality, or large-scale forces beyond individual control: Death and taxes are life's two inevitabilities.
It can also refer to predictable consequences: The inevitabilities of aging, the inevitabilities of technological change.
