People have always had free will. Their fate is as interchangeable as the very clothes that are worn from day to day by the person themself. It would be impossible to successfully prove this because the question itself is a belief, and more often that not, support is not needed to continue believing in it. However, one can still try to get their point across, as unsuccessful it may be.

While sometimes it seems that the events taking place fall into their position, the official term is called a coincidence. The life as a person sees it is often influenced by the patterns that they have learned about in the past, which causes them to start planning-out their life. This is not a reality. No one is able to predict every living moment in their life. Chance and probability enter. They determine how likely it is to happen, or how often, but they can never be said for sure. Human error enters. The people that the person is involved with throughout their life come in to change what the person has so divinely decided. To believe that a person’s life is predetermined is pure ignorance and lethargic. The person will most likely not try to change anything if the outcome is going to remain the same. This can be very closely related to Communism. The workers of a Communist country can work all the same, or all different to receive the same amount of pay. They might as well just give up and die if they continue to have this attitude.

People can escape this by seizing control of their life, taking it into their own hands, as it should be. They can be something completely new, and show themselves just how easily their life changes. Effort is the only attribute needed to achieve this.
