Destiny vs. Free Will

[a_faded_star]

Alright guys it's time again to get your opinion. The topic this time... Destiny vs. Free Will. Do you believe that our lives are already predetermined and you are pushed along a set path or, Are we born a blank slate ready to create a life based solely on our choices and experiences?

I have no affiliation with religion or higher powers, so naturally I don't believe the idea of "destiny".

However, one could make the argument of the effect our genes have on us, as well as our environment (social status, wealth, family traditions). All these play a role in determining our future without a care as to what WE think about it. This can be considered some form of "destiny".

I wish a caste system were in America, then people who never work for what they get would be "put in their place", ah-thank you...
