Do you think your life is determined by a special, individual fate, or are you free to choose as you wish?

What is fate ? Fate is the will or principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to be as they are or events to happen as they do destiny, you can make your life easy or hard its all up to the person itself, although many people believe everything happens for a reason.The freedom enjoyed by those in the real world, however, may be just as illusory. You are free to perform an action only if you can avoid performing it. If you have to do something if its not in your power to do otherwise then you are not free to do it.If someone is forcing you to do something against your will or preveting you from doing something you want to do, you are not free. This sense of freedom is often referred to as "negative freedom". Cypher was sick and tired of the matrix "you call this free" cypher asks Trinity. " All i do is what he tells me to do. If i have to choose between that and the Matrix, I would choose the Matrix" by plugging cypher to the Matrix will that make him a free person ? Many would say "NO" because in the Matrix, Cypher still would not be calling the shots.He would lack what is known as "Positive freedom" because he would not have the power to do anything. According to Philosper Immamnuel Kant said that " life is not the kind of experiences you;ve had, but the kind of choices you've made. If you;ve always tried to do the right thing, then your are a good person even if things did not turn out the right way you planned"...Its up to you to make your own fate and lead a good path of life.
