Choice or Destiny?

I have a question for you, do you believe in choice or destiny?  Do you believe in mistakes? Do you believe in predestination?

I just basically asked the same question three times. Why? Well, that is a very good question. You see life breaks down into a few simple questions that are all intertwined. The main one is choice or destiny. It kinda is the most prevalent.  If we all believe that choice is the inherent mechanism than we begin to make life a sum of choices. Choices give people power and with power people choose what they want. But, some say that choice was a lie that was given to the people who have no power from the people they do to serve as a control in a system.  We will never fully know if life is governed by choices. Now, lets briefly examine fate or destiny as some call it.

However, if we say that life is fated or destined then we have no control. Then, we are simple robots that just follow the order that was set before us. The system itself has no need for control. But, that makes people feel uneasy because they have no control. When, a  system goes haywire in a computer, a computer tech tries to get control over the situation.

But, there is a problem with choice and fate. They can't both be right. If we say that they are both, then they conflict with each other as they are both mutually exclusive or are they? A set order could be set but it could be your choice to take it. Just, as a lot of Christians view salvation as predetermined but its all up to you. And, that is cool. I mean its legit, you agree to it and hold faith in that doctrine as do Calvinists in predestination and Armenians in free-will.

Yet, though there may be different schools of thought, there is one single question that we all must ask ourselves and that is this question: "Why was that choice made?".

And, that is all I will leave you with. Until next time.
