Most of us in the modern world believe that we are in control of our own actions and we have the freewill to determine our future. The ancient Greeks felt differently about this idea. Perhaps you may also feel that there is a destiny awaiting you. Before you make a rash choice, think about the following in relation to the life you live. Some philosophers believe that our actions are shaped by our environment and our DNA. Those philosophers use the term "determinism." Your life is solely determined by those two major factors. Muse about the possibilities of all three: complete freewill, destiny and determinism. Which of those seem more plausible to you and why? Can you think of a situation in which the three could coexist? Do they all exist together or does one idea/belief override others?
Personally, i believe Fate and Freewill coexist. Freewill determines your fate, along with your envirement. For example, Over the summer, i was at this party, at first it was pretty crunk than My buddies and I started getting bad vibes so we decided to leave. When we got to the car we realized we had forgotten someone, then we heard screams, so we ran back to the party to see what was happening, then we found the person we forgot and he was all scratched up and his t shirt was torn, so as we were leaving, we get to my car and i start it up, all of the sudden i look to my left and theres a mob of people running to my car, and my instinct is floor it and get of there, and before i knew it, the mob was trying to brake through my windows (as im moving) and someone ended up under my car i ended up running over him. It was my freewill to leave, it was fate that my buddy pissed off a lot of people, and it was a combination of envirement (ghetto) and DNA which was to freaked out
