Fate is an idea some people think controls what living things do. That is false unless fate is the author or writer of a book.

Everything a person does is not decided

The idea of free will is entirely dependent on one’s own beliefs. Since it is a mere idea that is not exactly obtainable with our human minds‚ there is no way to accurately prove that free will is either right or wrong.

For instance‚ Oedipus was limited in his free will by the oaths dictating his fate. Machiavelli
