Free Will Or Destiny

Free will, compared to destiny, can show
     some real disparities between the two-
how life is lived, how much gets done- to know
     outcomes of what we plan- or fall into.

Pure destiny suggests our road's been made
     to follow life where ever it may lead.
With no involvement, goals remain delayed-
     for sure, an easy path- no thoughts to seed.

Conversely, free will grants a tougher course-
     to be responsible for what life brings;
must be involved to build and reinforce
     each day of life with fruitful joy that clings.

Free will allows us to earn satisfaction.
     Pure destiny provides no interaction.
