Weird Place

[forsyth]

My brain's in a weird place this morning. Probably because I stayed up too late and then was reading The Invisibles this morning. So, a random question.

If everybody chose on their own to do exactly what they were fated to do, would that be destiny or free will?

And what then if they were fated to not follow their fate?

It's both: Case by point

A point in space can be transversed by nth number of lines/rays at any one moment. If every line represents any possible fate, whose to say how many choices of "fate" exist. Converse, if every line/ray is a fate, and every line/ray can be transversed at any point along that line/ray, there are nth numbers of fates that can be traveled, each having a determined endpoint that numbers with nth value of existence as well.

So, the endpoint may be predetermined for each line/ray, but free will/choice allows the traveler to choose if they wish to take that endpoint or change course.
