"There are three basic positions we can adopt on the question of free will: either we have absolute free will, or we have no free will at all, or we have a certain measure of free will. The idea that we are absolutely free is clearly far-fetched, for there are certain obvious restrictions on our freedom: we are not free to do anything that we are physically incapable of doing. For example, we cannot change the past, breathe under water, or fly like a bird. In addition to these physical limitations, there are also psychological limitations on our freedom: our mental conditioning and our numerous habits and instincts play a major role in determining our actions. Some people might say that all these constraints are so powerful that we have no control over them whatsoever and have no free will at all. This extreme position is known as fatalism, predeterminism, or 'hard' determinism. According to fatalism, we cannot choose to do anything other than what we do choose to do; everything we do is predestined, and our feeling of being free is an illusion. Fatalism is impossible to prove, but it's also impossible to disprove, because a fatalist would say that whatever we do or say to try and disprove fatalism is itself determined by fate! "

"I can say that with this comment, I agree. The simple things we do are all pre determined. Every decision, every choice...everything happens for a reason. However, I often find myself questioning fatalism and even the idea of there being a God present, because all the suffering that goes on. Is all that predetermined too? Moreover, are we helpless products of free will or merely determined by Fate? Free will is Fate. FREE WILL is FATE. How can this be? Our actions are free will, yes, we do and say as we wish. However, it is fate that determines our free will. Working together, hand in hand simotaneously. Our free will is determined by Fate!."
