Game of Life

To live is to take a chance each day we have many choices is our life preordained? the paths already written? Or are we just balsam blown hither and tither when you stop and think how much free choice is there? Our discipline starts early from the day we first attend kindergarten or school lessons after school we go out to work Again we are at the whims of bosses if you do not toe the line out you go appearances are important to neighbours so we keep our houses and gardens nice If one drops out of every day life and goes totally their own way we are called odd and often far worse just for daring to be different Man is such a herd animal like sheep we follow blindly not wanting to seem unusual needing the approval of peers So in this game of life we roll the dice of chance choosing to follow fate no real free choice for us

We seem to be chained to the wheel of fate that we have obediently to follow. You have asked the million dollar question that clear answer is not there but belief to an answer! Great work!

I do believe we have free choice but often others free choice intersect with our own and thus fate is born.
