So first it was a debate on predestination - now it's a debate on free will |

1. Like I have said before: |
|
Life is movie we already acted, this is just the replay :)
We made our choices, had our freewill, and now we are watching it from the body we are in.
OR
Life is all a program, and we are result of it - the outcome is predictable we just don't usually know it because we aren't paying attention.
...This could get fun ;)

2. It's all determined by the choices you make. |

Paraphrasing Dumbledore. :D

3. It's impossible to control one's destiny |
|
That would require a time machine and the ability to intercept and change every influential factor in one's life.
Besides — it's against the Prime Directive. :P

4. we may not know what our destiny is while we are controlling the outcome |
|
but our choices and actions are what cause the end result. they are what controls our destiny.
in my opinion at least. ;)

6. That postulates that there are no influences |
|
other than those upon which we can act.

I believe free will is our own choice and we choose which path our loves will go. and I love you Ava but I think once we choose fate can jump in..... I have seen to many things change on a dime not to believe in fate....
I am a true believer of "there is a reason for everything and everything has a reason"...
A what if, You are rushing out of your house to get to work... run past the hallway mirror and see a hair out of place. even though you know you will be late you go back and fix your hair..... on your way to work you see an accident, real bad, you find out it happened at the time you are at this spot everyday.... maybe changing my routine I created this fate, but I'm not sure
Your free will made you go fix your hair, but fate saved my life..... I believe this 100%. I have had other things happen to me and people I know that makes me believe in fate. :hug: :hug:
Great subject.....
