Simple, yet not so simple question: Fate and free will. Looking for the ultimate proof of our freedom or slavery.
Do we choose by ourselves or just play the roles we are given? Is this a mutable Universe or a simple play where we are the actors, and the world is the scenery? Cause-consequence, yes. We don't choose our circumstances and we can't act without a situation where to start to work on; however, we can decide how we act on the circumstances and how they affect us. Or is this choice also affected by previous experiences? Can we decide or are we mere objects just doing our work, serving for our own commitment? Fate for me at least, however, would mean someone else above us knowing what we are already going to do. And I don't believe in omniscient gods. But can I choose in what I believe? Or is that choice actually a product of what I've seen, what I've experienced and what I felt? Are we just machines with conscience of themselves which programs are in constant update by our surroundings, or have we got something else? Condemned to choose or subjugated to reality? Questions nobody has the answers to... or at least, that is what I believe.
