a philosophical question
Nov. 2nd, 2005 08:17 pmQuestion: Do you believe in fate?
Question: Do you believe in free will?
Question: Do you believe that the two contradict each other?
( the qustion still remains/are we free to choose/or are we bound in chains? )
I asked my friends about this, and got mixed answers. Some people believed in one or the other, and some people believed in both, and some believed that fate doesn't interfere in individual peoples' lives, but in the big events. Maybe World War II was fated to end with the Allies winning. She believed so. But she doesn't believe that fate will affect something as ordinary as a single person's love life.
