Karla, you asked the question by which force are we dominated by. Free will, or fate? I believe that our lives are more so ruled by fate than the other factor. Fate, as defined by the Webster's Dictionary (or my pocket one), is an "inescapable future; destiny." I feel as if our lives have been planned out for us in some respect, not all though. And when I say this, I am not saying by a God or whatever. I feel as if it is nature's path laid out for each and everyone of us. It just is. I feel that free will is what helps us alter our fate when we fear it is going in the wrong direction. We humans like to think we have free will, but we are really influenced by so many things in life that nothing seems to come of free will. Nothing and no one has complete rule of the life they live out. So this is why I feel as if fate dominates our lives. I just don't agree that fate is "inescapable." I think we have an opportunity to rewrite our destinies, to change our directions.
Fate is supposedly "inescapable." Do you believe that we have a chance to change our destiny, our fate?
