General - Fate vs. Free Will - View Post

Both Fate and Free Will:

Fate as in that everything, if looked back on, it was predictable if you can follow the logic, and you can use the same logic to predict similar results. Remember, even chaos follows a pattern (as per chaos theory). Furthermore, as proven to some degree by Psychology, Human behavior is nature + nuture, so all human behavior, are to some extent, predetermined by order + chaos (some random elements + some defined elements)

This does not contradict my idea of Free Will, in that essentially, we choose about how we act, we are free in that we act by what we think. Things only seem pre-determined when we look back, but truly, no one can be completely accurate planning for the future, there's always an unknown variable as there is an element of randomness.

Well, that's it, I hope that make sense. If anyone need me to explain something in detail or more clearly, just... reply?
