Free Will Vs. Fate: My Thematic Idea In My Life

Decent Essays
My thematic idea is Free will vs Fate and I believe that parts of my thematic idea has be portrayed in my life. First of all I would like to say that I’m not personally one sided so i’m not just based on fate or just on free will. Sometimes I like to believe and have dreams or be a dreamer and think that everything is really out of my control. But then I realize that everything in my life happens because I make it happen. If i chose to try hard a good outcome will happen but if I just slack off that's not going to happen.
