Fate Or Choice Which Controls Your Life

Fate or choice which controls your life? So you believe in fate do you? Is that your fate or do you choose to believe it? Are you destined to believe in destiny? So then, if fate predetermines everything we do, and the result, then really ... there is no such thing as free will... yet we know... we were created with free will how do we know? try training a child to obey is it easy or do they have their own will? ok ok... so do you wear a seat belt? why? because statistics prove that wearing seat belts saves lives! So if someone chooses (note the choice of wording) to ignore the law and does not wear a seat belt and is killed was it fate? or just a bad choice? When you are sick do you go to the doctor? Why? Because your chances of getting better are higher if... you seek medical treatment. So if someone has a cold and it worsens and it becomes pneumonia and he chooses (note the choice of wording) not to seek treatment and dies... is it fate? or bad choices? In a time of war is it safer on the front lines or in your comfortable home? Yet, it is said that a soldier died because it was his time, his fate, really? Was it destiny or was it a consequence of his choice? So do you believe in fate? Is it your fate? Or is it your choice? If you choose to believe that your future is in fates hands then fate requires you to not wear a seat belt not to seek medical attention and to sign up for the front lines of the next war because it doesn't matter anyway you're in fates hands right? Or do you have a choice? John Derek Hamilton April 27, 2016
