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?

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.
