Fate or Choice?

Question
----------------------------------------------------------

Do You Believe In Fate, That Your Destiny Is Predetermined?
Or Do You Believe That The Choices You Make Determines Your Destiny?

Fate Or Choice?
----------------------------------------------------------

I just want to know your guys inputs and why?
It could be both.

(Keep this thread Civil please, no blood shed)

I pretty much always stray toward the middle ground, so I'll say a little mix of Both.

All hedging aside, I believe that a person's choices dictate what happens in their life. However, "Fate" plays a role in a person's individual talents and predilections.

It can't be fate... you don't wait to see how your life will be, you act, you decide how it should be.

I find it ridiculous to blame fate for your life.

I beleive it is not determined. All the things we find that seem to hint towards it is subconcious. For example, we look at the world more towards the negetive view due to the media. It only seems to publish information that is negetive towards a certain subject, in a majority. Undetermined fate, however needs no explanation. You create yourself, and that's why I beleive in that.

Everything happens for a reason? : I've had 4 friends die on the same day, wonder what that could mean? (All under 18 by the way, and very kind people after living a poor abusive life.)

well im assuming fate would be a linear perception on life and choice would be more branch like(new Fringe episode talked about this)

id have to go with branch-like. every choice is a new path. ive always hated the word fate....its kinda dumb

I know, many people die when they don't deserve it. If it was about fate, what is the reason they were born?

I also had a near death accident, but I never believed in fate no matter what.

for the people who believe in fate, if you think that no matter what you do, the ending will never change....why not take more risks in life?

Wouldn't that be "tempting fate"?
