Option 2: Fate and free will-Do you think your life is determined by a special, individual, fate, or are you free to choose as you wish?

Me, myself as a person feels like no one makes any desisions of your life but yourself. There is no such thing as fate, because even if you fell that something is gonna happen you have the option of making your own decessions and changing it up. What you could do to make fate become a little true is whatever that goal might be, in the future on the path to get to your goal your gonna have to make the right decessions in order to get there. But you will always have the option of free will because there is always a chance to prevent something or encounter it differently.
Even in the matrix film, if you could remember when neo would visit the oracle(old lady) every time she would tell him about whats going to happen to him or someone or event that may happen Neo always had the option of believing what the oracle said or just leaving it aside and going on with his life. Neo may have been told what was going to happen but no matter what a person always has the option even if that person decides not to listen she/he is still making a choice.
Another part in the film that you can relate to the topic is when Cyperasks trinity "you call this free? All i do is what he tells me to do. If i had to choose between that and the Matrix, I choose the matrix." I feel like where ever cyper is wheather its the matrix or the real world he would have free will no matter what, becuase which ever he chooses he made a choice which is freewill and if he was to be in the matrix he wouldnt remember anything but in his mind he would be making his on dessions even in the matrix and if he was to stay in the real world with Morpheus or just leave and not work for him anymore.
In the Reading Chapter 8-Fate, freedom, and knowledge. pg 87 there is a perfect example of how free will could be expalined. In the begining there is a little quote that someone called rush wrote and it is "You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. you can choose from Phantom fears ans kindness that can kill; I will choose a path thats clear- I will choose free will." translating those words into my own i feel that by this what the writer is trying to say.. is for example lets say i have a girlfriend and one of her best friends comes up to me and tells me that she is planing to break with me, Is this fate? or d you have the option to believe it or not? what you could also do is believe it and as time goes by you vould make the options that may lead up to how you want things to happen.
Someone could write a whole life story of how your life might end up, you can make the decission to believing that someone wrote about you or you could make you own decissions, but no matter what through your life time you will always have free will just as everyone does around you, and how you have the choice to agree with me or not. But always make the right choices because you might end up not making your choice to live. And thats another case where you dont have control of your life. God for bid but if someone is standing infront of you with a gun they are about to make the decission whether you live or not. But once again here comes free will where you could have prevented this by making the correct options not to lead to that. So no matter what everyone has an option.
