I believe that the 2, fate/destiny and freewill go hand in hand, and are at equal measure.
It is believed by some that fate/destiny is only predetermined to a few variables. If I remember the words of a preacher, only your Rezeki or basically your blessings, Death and Partner have been pre-determined. I believe it to a certain level, but then we have the capacity to question it further, example, Death - What if we decide to commit suicide, and this is one of the greatest unforgivable sin, and that we chose to make this decision, yet we are punished for it, and for argument sake, that it was FATED that we made that decision. Is this where the 2 converge? Do we get punished because Fate decided it, or do we get punished because we made the decision from Freewill?
A forumer mentioned it no? Is it that God had already known that we are to sin, and that before we come out to this world, that we've already been predestined to walk through the fires off hell? Pretty depressing, no?
I believe that theres 2 end of the spectrums, Fate and Freewill, and I hardly believe that we have to choose one or the other. The beauty in life is that we have choices, and we make those choices. Its finding the grey area between the 2 ends of the spectrum that is the key. Its just human tendency to point finger at Fate when we have nothing else to blame.
Karma too may have a role, but we have seen time again, ruthless forces and individuals who may have coloured our history books, or walk in the path of our lives today, or even politicians who set unfair policies and govern our lives in an injustice manner, who are doing what they do and still reap the riches of their deeds, and we still feel hard done by. But i guess thats another topic altogether.
Ive always told my friends, The Only Power That Can Match That Of Destiny Is Freewill. Cos Freewill has no limitations, and is infinite. The boundaries are only created by you.
