Freewill is a belief, and fate is an idea.
I don't know how many of you here are able to reject the idea that we are just dancing on the strings pulled by a larger, unknowable force, but I have.
If you are willing to let Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos spin your thread of fate without argument, are you really living your life?
What of Odysseus and his journey? He fought against the machinations of a god to return home. Surely, a god has the ability to control a mere mortal's fate?
Without freewill we would never fight, we would never truly live, and the ideas behind the worth if humanity and it's achievements would lose meaning.
If nobody does anything of thier own power, is anyone truly great?
Is there any true good or evil?
Is there any love?
Or, are we all just watching from the wings, as the play unfolds, each of us is just a prop or a tool for fate's entertaiment?
