Who we are and what we are capable of becoming… is it determined by our actions and choices, or by forces beyond our control. Can we change things if we make the right moves, or is it all set in stone, predetermined before we were ever born? Are we victims, mere pawns; chess pieces on a universal board...or do we actually have agency, some semblance of power, or sway over who we were and will become?
Free will vs Fate
