Guys, if you were asked; which do you believe in, Freedom to Choose or Fate? Which one will you pick? Personally, I would go for a compromise between the two. I mean, D'oh, of course, we have a predetermined fate. However, that does not mean that we cannot change it.
Over the course of our lives, we make many choices. Some of these choices are difficult but some are extremely easy. It's the choices we make and the paths that we take which give direction to our lives.
It's easy to say that you give up. What's harder to say is that you'll keep on going no matter what happens. Our lives are extremely malleable, yet they are also extremely fragile. Take for instance a master smith, forging a blade. He can hammer it easily, but takes care so that it will come out in finest shape.
I believe in fate, in the sense that we make our own fate. Whatever we do over the course of a lifetime determines how it will end. Of course, that is where the freedom to choose comes into the equation. If you let your life go downhill because all you do is believe in fate, then definitely you have a predetermined fate that is rapidly approacing: Misery. However, if all you do is take your life into your hands, then that could also be disastrous.
Point is, no matter what happens, we should balance these two things. There are times when we should leave things to circumstance, others, take them up ourselves. If you made bad choices in the past, don't regret them, rather, learn from them and grow in maturity from the experience.
Now I ask you, freedom to choose or fate?
