Imagine you're playing a game. Sometimes it feels like the dice are rolled for you, that's fate. Other times, you pick where to move, that's free will. People believe in both because they see parts of life as fixed and other parts as choices. Some think everything is written ahead of time; others think we decide our own paths.
Examples
- A child thinks their favorite toy is magical, it always chooses what they want to play with.
- Someone believes that if they work hard enough, they can become a famous singer, even though others say it's impossible.
- A person wakes up late every morning and says, 'I had no choice, my life is just like that.'
