Fate is no matter what happens it was meant to happen‚ and nothing that is done can change what is destined to happen. Just imagining that everything done in one’s life is not decided by that person is completely absurd. Life is all choices to think that it isn’t all by free will makes no sense

Humans choose their behavior and actions‚ yet they are influenced in their choices and know there’s consequences. So‚ I don’t believe humans have free will.
