I believe a bit of both. Some things you can't control, some things you can...

Psh. Fate is for those who don't want to admit that they made a mistake.
I do what I do. I make the choices I make. If they happen to be wrong, go on knowing you made the mistake and try not to make it again.

I had to write an essay bout this for school.

I said something like there isnt really a fate because you have free will. You choose to eat you choose to do things everyday its not set it just happens. You dont know when your gunna die but yuu make a choice one that can have certain reprocussions. I got a c on my essay wasnt that great had alot of errors lol

i think that the two terms can be interchangable silghtly.
i mean for instance, two people like each other for ages, then suddenly they tell each other and things happen. to some they consider it fate as they have been liking each other for ages, etc...but for the people involved it took a concious action in order to make it happen. therefore it would be considered free will as they are the ones making the decision to get together.
i didn't really think it through that thoroughly, so i hope this makes sence... Very Happy

i believe that your life is already mapped out by the spirits of the universe, but, for each problem that arises, we are given a choice, and weather we make the correct or incorrect choice is entirely up to us.

Free-will, bluntly stated.

Some situations will be coincidential, ironic, etc. and may seem as if it was fate...

But free-will all the way. I can live in denial and there's nothing you can do to stop me!

I believe that both play a part. Most things that happen come from free will, but sometimes things will happen that you never brought upon yourself (like being hit by a drunk driver). I think that it is mostly free will though.

I believe that no ones life is either fate or free will, it is a mixture of both.

I believe also that fate exsists when in concerns death, as in that person was ment to go there and then. There's nothing you can do about it.

i think that Fate is real and we cannot fight it but we can alter it.
that made no sense.

look, we've all got choices to make and we all have to make them. what if we are given choices and then we decide and then the outcome is Fate.
still not making sense.

if our decision is meant to be, then we will make it, no matter how many times it takes us to get to the right choice, we eventually will make the choice we were always meant to make.
but humans are inherently stupid, and it just takes us a while.
but, eventually, we will make the right choice, no matter how small.
and then we have created Fate.
Fate and Choice are the same thing.
am i making sense?
(no)

but u getting hit by that driver, will effect someone's life and there choices will ALWAYS be different
Fate.
it was the free will of the driver but not of the vicitim and it is not the free will, but Fate of the person who mourns you. it was their Fate to mourn. not free will.

i make no sense.
i apologize.

humans will never truly know beyond theories. personally, i believe that both control us. we have the power of free will, but "fate" sometimes intervenes.

And what is fate, really? i mean, fate is probably something that human culture made up to explain bizarre coincidences. if you think about it long enough, free will controls our every action; but if you think about a certain situation you've had, then you might think about a really strange coincidence that you liked or disliked that changed that freely made disicion. and it was something that ultimately effected your life.
essentially, fate does not exist. Its just a coincidence.
but it's all in any one person's beliefs.

Both.the way i see it is God gave us the free will to miss up our own lives and to and the free will to fix it .but i also think that you can only miss up to a certain extent before fate takes over .....yes.....
(wow..that made absolutely no sense)
for all those who got it thankyouVery Happy
for all those who dident oh well Mr. Green
