Destiny

The topic of destiny has divided people for centuries into fatalists and supporters of free will. Some believe that everything, from birth to our last breath, is written in the “book of life” by God, fate, or other forces, and our choices are only an illusion. Others are convinced that there are certain “turning points” written into the script, but the road between them depends entirely on us. Skeptics reject destiny altogether, seeing it as an excuse for inaction. Increasingly popular is also the theory that we live in a simulation and our fates are the result of code written by someone “on the other side of the screen.” Do we really have any influence over our own lives?
