Life is a choice? or a fate? Which one you believe is true? I, Myself, believe life is a choice. All action we taken is our choice. If we choose different action, the impact or result could be different. it just like a math, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 - 1 = 0, 1 * 1 = 1 or etc. Look, just by changing + into - or *, the result will be different. Same as our life, different actions give different impacts. However, life is not as simple as math, the result is absolute. There is nothing sure in this world. 1 + 1 is not necessarily 2, it could be 2, 3 ,4 or etc. Just beware every actions taken, because it will impact your life later :D

Life is not a choice nor fate - it is destined because every thing in life is prefixed and it runs accordingly very precisely.You have so many dreams created by you and not necessarily to be fulfilled.Some may and some may not. But what every has to happen it will happen it is being controlled by HIM.Think calmly and you will surely get the answer for yourself.

well, your choice is acceptable. I am really appreciate it. However, i am still not agree with it. If you say life is destined by HIM, then You will not success even though you had try hard. And someone who is doing nothing could be more success than you if he/she is had been destined by HIM. But it seems this kind of concept is weird. I am agree destiny is determined by HIM, But it was determined based on our choice. I am sure God is very fair and had eyes everywhere Those who had choose to work hard will be granted a success.

Hi busy bee: I don't agree with you when you say that all that happends it's controlled by HIM. Of course, God could make us do what he wants to do because he's allmighty. In this case we all get our salvation because God love us but this is not the case because God gave as the gift of freedom so we have the power to chose what do we want to do with our lives. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

yes, Alvaro. I do agree with you. we were given freedom to do what we wants. That's why we will be judged for what we have done during our life at the end of the world.

Yes, we should be careful to make decisions, but sometimes we have no choice.

HGi siasong: I agree with you, sometimes we have no choice so we have to accept that these challenges happend to our life but we are not slaves of this so called destiny, we have the power to make our little world a better place, it's just that we have to find hope and don't give up. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

Life is a choice for me. We choose decisions that can have a great impact to our future. Nice work with the math by the way. Best day ever.

Hi front vision: Exactly, day by day we make our own decitions that affect not only us but other people. We have this control over the situations. Unfortunetly some people pass their lives with resignation, blaming their destinies and ignoring that they have the power to change things by their own. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

True. To live is a choice. And what we choose affects us. Time would tell. It's easier for me to grasp this concept now than before.

Right. Because life is not a science, there are so many influential factors around it. For some people, it is fate. While for others, it is a choice. It is depend on how they see it and I don't think this is debatable.

hi again. Life is a choice and a fate both as luck does come into play but still we can make a better choice and attract good luck into our lives. Also when we marry so many people think all things must be divided equally but life often has a way of making one of you do forty to sixty percent of something while the other person can only do the remaining percent. So if your mate is stricken with an illness you do the work and bring home the bacon til your mate is well.It will not be a fifty fifty proposition as life just does not work that way. If you truly love one another you will see fifty fifty does not always cut it.And you will not even care as you will help each other and that's the way it should always be.

Hi 5h1n164m1: I agree with you even if I understand that some of the situations that happend in our lives can't be controlled that way. That's what people usually call fate. We can control some of the things that happend around us, it's our choice and that's the reason why we are responsibles of the things that happend to us, because in general we can make them change. We have the power to address our lives the way we want it. Thanks for starting this discussion. Have a nice day. ALVARO

For me life is a choice like what you said...because all things you did is your choice. It will never be done if you never decided it. And no one knows what will happen to you unless you yourself only. Yup like what you said its like a math when you choose to add positive to positive the sum will be good therefore you lead your self to be the better one,and when you add the positive to the negative the sum will depends of what things the most you did.if u do more bad things than good things there are possibility that the choice you made will lead you to the wrong way and if you do more good than bad maybe your not the better one but you can be a good one. So for me life is a choice..

Life can be fate,and it can also be a choice. It depends on how you control your life or how you let other control you.

Both! Life is about the choices you make and also coupled with fate. there are people who make great choices but are very unlucky! Think about it.
