Hard to vote. There are destiny factors such as the family,the nationality, the race, and the looking that one is doomed to bear upon his/her birth. Free will definitely plays an important role as well when one is old enough to make his/her own decisions about life independently. But alas, I do have a problem with programming my DVD player, so I might as well vote for the last one.

I think my life is shaped by my thoughts, emotions and beliefs. The action or inaction the above influence also influence my life.

It's shaped by free will, unfortunately it's not MY will that's doing the shaping right now. Still, I sorta made my bed and am lying in it... But beds are made for laying, I always say. Cheers!

The western judicial system is based on free will--though lawyers will sometimes argue exactly what Agnes has brought out: family, nationality etc. particularly when dealing with juveniles. When I deal with assessment, I deal with what is in front of me--knowing full well it is a snapshot--a moment in time and does not represent the whole picture--just a fragment of the picture. Often, teachers will say to me: but s/he has a horrible life, etc. I know that poverty and neglect has a huge impact on student performance and on the choices available to students--but I also know they do have choices and decisions. Wishing you happiness Misty

Hi Ana, I think it is a combination of many things. We get blindsided in life when we least expect it, things happen that we have no control over, nature does it's own thing (this year is a good example, I have my heat on today). We do have free will to make choices, but, many times, those choices involve other people and they can change their minds which affects us. So, it comes down to "What do I know??? I can program a video recorder though. Same ole, same ole in my world. I wonder if it is fate or incompetence or both? I will be back and active in the blogs at some point. I miss you sweet lady, Ana. You are a wonderful friend  Hugs Love  Every survival kit should include sense of humor

I think the sort of "destiny" described by Agnes might be more precisely referred as the cultural and socio-economic circumstances that a person is born into. I definitely agree that these are important factors in a person's life. But what I really disagree with is when someone views life through the lens of "predestination." In other words, they believe the course of their existence has already been determined by a Higher Power and that they are simply a helpless vessel going through the motions. Of course, your decisions, your circumstances and even dumb luck play in a role in what happens to you. But, in the end, you have to take responsibility and not use the cop-out of it being your "destiny". That's what I believe anyway.

I voted in free will, because so I would like it to be ... just that I am getting old and slowly suspecting that is not only that. Oh well  what makes you suddenly wonder about this  I don't buy it though. But then it makes me think--which parts of our lives do we really have free will over? Our births and deaths and predestined, and sometimes, no matter what you do, you lose control over how your life goes, as if (as you were saying in your blog) Life is playing you a big cosmic joke. I mean, I do have free will, but I still can't program the dang VCR. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

But, in the end, you have to take responsibility and not use the cop-out of it being your "destiny". That's what I believe anyway. But I wonder though, when does Destiny come into play in our lives, and how much of our free will is tied up in it? For example, we can not choose when to have children, or what gender child we will have, even though we can try and tweak the process. When I think of us having "free will", most of the time I see it as us choosing how to react to what Life throws our way--but as to what we're dealt with, I think a lot of it is still left to chance, or Fate, if you will.

hello mapilgrim this is a heavy subject and i can only answer for myself here i believe free will shapes our destiny. its all about choice, we have the choice to be what ever we want to be, with hard work and determination we can achieve our goals. some chose to do as less as possible and then blame society for there own problems. god gave us free will, i know growing up what was right and what was wrong thanks to my parents me being an adventuress i chose a few things i knew were wrong, but i was ready to accept responsibility for my choices. i do it even now, because i believe when my time comes to meet my maker, it will all be shown to me. then he will ask " why did you chose the way you did?" my answer will be because i knew one day i would be standing in front of you and accepting my judgment hopefully i have done more good than bad and he will forgive my younger discretion   he is a merciful god god bless you ana and your loved ones keep smiling god loves us all peace love happiness hugs always dan "hopeful romantic, reality keeps me grounded but it can`t stop me from dreaming" ~dan

Free will seems to take you only so far, then Fate steps in to demonstrate just how fickle it can be, no matter what we do. I think to myself about how I never had a say in being given a son with special needs, nor did my son have any choice in the matter. Sometimes I see how difficult it can be for him to overcome this, even though you could see how much he wants to--if wanting was as good as being he'd have had this disability under control years ago, but still he struggles. And then I meet a man whose firstborn has Down's, and whose youngest has Autism, and I wonder again why these things happen. Only thing we can do, we both said, while talking about our children--is to take it one day at a time. That's just as far as our control over our lives go. I'm dyslexic.

Destiny shapes our lives. What will be will be, it is written and set before we enter this place called earth. Free will can play a small part but to me doesn't shape our life. We are on this earth for 'a reason' and when we have completed that 'reason' we leave. It's all in the Numbers. My belief anyway, but what does that matter. Not much really. Have a great week Ana
| ||
6/19/2008 6:14 am |
Same here--I always did wonder about this. If we have free will, when does it start? We never have the capacity to choose when, where and how we would be born in the first place, so when do we get free will handed to us? Perhaps it is our being exposed to both western and eastern philosophy that situates us in a more caught-in-between position, Ana.

6/19/2008 7:04 am |
I'm found voting for destiny, I can see how my life has went. Yes it is free will; to make a choice for doors to open. I only know what I know, I can't explain it properly.

Filipinos are great believers in Fatalism, beta. The term "bahala na"[/i} or, loosely translated, meaning, "whatever happens" is deeply ingrained in our psyche, and most of us also believe everything that happens to us is the will of God. I don't buy it though. But then it makes me think--which parts of our lives do we really have free will over? Our births and deaths and predestined, and sometimes, no matter what you do, you lose control over how your life goes, as if (as you were saying in your blog) Life is playing you a big cosmic joke. I mean, I do have free will, but I still can't program the dang VCR. And what a free will? put a bosche ballen in front of me and banggggggggg there is no free will anymore just a hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee willlllll And when i sweared i wont get a bit of chocolate at all this summer was also my free will... Life is unpredictable.... Where the heck is that remote control?

6/19/2008 7:08 am |
Hi Ana  Thanks for the life vest ... will let you know when I need it You are so right in saying that we do not 'always' have control of our life. We cannot choose what gender our child should be. We cannot always determine what makes us marry the person we did, or why we had to divorce the person. I think it was destiny that I ended up in S'pore, when I could have stayed in the US or UK or ... I never thought I would stay here so long. But destiny designed it for me, because Lady Destiny knew what was best for me  I guess we'll never really know. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

I think concepts like destiny and free will are more relative than absolute to each other. Take the term "free will" as an example, philosophers have bestowed it with very different and contradictory definitions. For instance, the free will in Schopenhauer's interpretation, which he also calls "the thing-in-itself", seems to be ultimately free, but can also be regarded as sort of destiny in a higher scale. I think free will and destiny are interrelated, that is, within destiny, one can enjoy certain degree of free will, and vice versa. Perhaps it is our being exposed to both western and eastern philosophy that situates us in a more caught-in-between position, Ana. And yes, I'm in a caught-in-between situation myself. I like your notion of free will and destiny being relative rather than absolutes. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Hmmmm....free will/destiny/who really knows. I, being a believer in God's redemption, believe that accepting the gift of the Passion, I have a destination....that destination is heaven...the rest of what happens here on earth...that is shaped by my free will and what I do with it. I do not even pretend to half understand it Ana, I just know that my faith has brought me through a tremendous amount of heartbreak. If a loving God does know all things then why do we have to suffer so? I am beginning to see that when we survive a trial we have opportunities to share with others how we did that. I don't believe the destiny angle is or should be our focus, but instead the influence we have in our and other peoples lives by choosing well. urg...did any of that make any sense? Excellent post btw...I love that I can laugh, cry and stew about important stuff when I come and visit you here.

Hi ana, I felt like getting on line and checking out the blogs to see what my friends are doing. I hope all is well with you. Not much new in my world yet, but I am still hopeful. I know how much you like red, so I brought you a Rose, special lady . . . . . . . . Hugs and Love Flo Every survival kit should include sense of humor

Hmmmm....free will/destiny/who really knows. I, being a believer in God's redemption, believe that accepting the gift of the Passion, I have a destination....that destination is heaven...the rest of what happens here on earth...that is shaped by my free will and what I do with it. I do not even pretend to half understand it Ana, I just know that my faith has brought me through a tremendous amount of heartbreak. If a loving God does know all things then why do we have to suffer so? I am beginning to see that when we survive a trial we have opportunities to share with others how we did that. I don't believe the destiny angle is or should be our focus, but instead the influence we have in our and other peoples lives by choosing well. urg...did any of that make any sense? Excellent post btw...I love that I can laugh, cry and stew about important stuff when I come and visit you here. And yes, you do make sense. You always do. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Destiny and fate may effect day to day events, but How we react to them is our free will. We do have a lot of control over much of our lives. I am always happy now. I simply will not give up any of my precious time to being miserable. I hope you and the family are all well. Take care. His Imperial Majesty, The Crowned Prince of Joy, The best, and always right, Jimy

Your place though, is beginning to look like the set for the FF Chainsaw Massacre. Did you see midnightdaisy wishing she had a cleavage knife in your blog? It's getting so bad, what with Hakim in there too, that I might have to shield myself with Ms. Chiffonade one of these days. 2) I want a Wii almost immediately. To the point I'd rather buy one of those than a golden ball. 3) I've gotten behind on this blog with the pregnant Tony-Bologna one and missed all the fun! 3.4) I love to make lists. Cheers!

1) He started it. 2) I want a Wii almost immediately. To the point I'd rather buy one of those than a golden ball. 3) I've gotten behind on this blog with the pregnant Tony-Bologna one and missed all the fun! 3.4) I love to make lists. We've got a Wii, not that I can go anywhere near it, particularly now that hubby bought the boys the Star Wars Lego Version for the Wii. I miss playing Cooking Mama. I am plotting to take it hostage when the Wii Fit platform becomes available here in Manila, and locking myself in my bedroom with it. Can you picture Tony-Bologna doing Lamaze? I can almost hear gower going "Push!! Push!!" behind him with his Welsh accent. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Which do you like better, making lists or using parentheses? We've got a Wii, not that I can go anywhere near it, particularly now that hubby bought the boys the Star Wars Lego Version for the Wii. I miss playing Cooking Mama. I am plotting to take it hostage when the Wii Fit platform becomes available here in Manila, and locking myself in my bedroom with it. Can you picture Tony-Bologna doing Lamaze? I can almost hear gower going "Push!! Push!!" behind him with his Welsh accent. My sum total of experience in hearing a Welsh accent is from Rhys Ifans in The Replacements where he wanders about smoking cigarettes and saying "I'm wiry." So that's pretty much how I imagine Gower. But IF Tony-Bologna is NOT faking for the attention (which is VERY Grey's Anatomy) then I figure prudence dictates he have a Cesarean like I did. I shudder to think of him going all natural and thus being more of a woman than I am. (Lists IN parenthesis. Now life is REALLY good.) Cheers!

That Welsh accent is hard for me to imagine, so the imagery you just put in my head made me pause for a bit. By "bit" I mean a very long moment that only ended because I started to shake myself out of it with chuckles. My sum total of experience in hearing a Welsh accent is from Rhys Ifans in The Replacements where he wanders about smoking cigarettes and saying "I'm wiry." So that's pretty much how I imagine Gower.

I shudder to think of him going all natural and thus being more of a woman than I am. (Lists IN parenthesis. Now life is REALLY good.) Yeesh, now I really am shuddering about it. *shuddershuddershuddershuddershudder* We've got to get gower to say, "I'm wiry." I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

So you don't think Fate played any role whatsoever in the life you have now? Maybe it's because of my love for theoretical physics but I believe in multiple possibilities. The future is not set like a stone in a ring. It's like a river whose course can be influenced by a huge boulder rolling into it, or an earthquake, or a drought, or erosion, or whatever can influence a river.... My previous comment is missing a considerable part of what I originally wrote must have highlighted and lost it without noticing.

I don't believe in fate at all. Maybe it's because of my love for theoretical physics but I believe in multiple possibilities. The future is not set like a stone in a ring. It's like a river whose course can be influenced by a huge boulder rolling into it, or an earthquake, or a drought, or erosion, or whatever can influence a river.... My previous comment is missing a considerable part of what I originally wrote must have highlighted and lost it without noticing. I like how you view the future. Now I think of the effects our action triggers, like a stone thrown into the water, with the ripples reaching further than we ever thought they would. I'm dyslexic.

I think our free will determines whether we are destined to be able to program a DVD player. Sorry, it's a political year and I'm getting used to hearing people agree to every side of an issue while retaining plausible deny ability. Altho my real answer is similar. I do believe we have the free will to determine our destiny. I.E. When one takes a path one can't hit rewind and start over but one can make a turn or two. That probably makes no sense. It was a long hot day. Gah, I think I just pulled a nerve thinking. I need a cold drink, too--want some iced tea? I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

I believe in destiny, free will and fate All of us destined to die one day but how and when, we do not know.Free will plays big part of our lives that determined most of our destinies as well it splits human being and animals. animals posses only knowledge but we’re human have both knowledge and understanding. Karma for me means if one do good things he will gain rewards in unexpected form. Fate is something unavoidable.. such us, one study hard but still fail in the exam, being born in hard family, came from war zone etc… at the end it’s depends on the individual to turn the sequence of situations to something better or make it a stepping stone to move further stronger or waste of ones life being a sort of self-pity person and achieved nothing much or nothing at all.

roses are red violets are blue if it wasn't for freedom of choice how could I make friends with a beauty like u fingers58 L Brown

Sometimes I wonder if an individual's personality, the way he or she responds to adversity in his/her life, is something destined, as well? Like some people can't help but be worrywarts, while other can be cool even under pressure.

Nope, at least I don't think so but again it has to do with ones personal choices. Many people can easily fake their personality to suit their situation/environment. The true good character will develop and prosper with us. I can take pressure but can’t be cool and pretend everything is alright if someone closed to me is not OK but at the end of the day all I have to do is to be patient and always keep in mind that we can’t control everything in life. Just my humble opinion MM. You know, now that I'm looking at the votes, I'm wondering (again!) how much our personality has anything to do with whether we believe we have free will or we're shaped by destiny. I think the go-getters are more believers of free will, and the easier going personalities the ones who believe in destiny. I may be wrong though. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.
