Well...yes...we always have at least two choices....In this case OUR option to chose....will you create your own life...where you are responsible for your action...both in good and bad.....OR will you live the life of other, who tells you the path...but you still NEED to pay the price for the action you do?

Free will is given with a big responsebillity...but if you use it good, you will feel that YOU achieve something.....on the other hand...if you are told what to do...then you just fulfill a task, and will never feel that YOU have achieved anything....because it was already written......maybe you might feel more confusion if you don't manage to fulfill your path .....and start asking why.."".please explain it to me""....""what have other done wrong since it don't happen?"""..(since it is predestination it can't be self that cause it, because then it could not be told to happen in the first place) ..and by that we can see that focus is taken away from oneself and transferred to other.....and if it don't happen...then it only show that the belief was wrong in the first place.....because if it shall have any value...it must happen all the time, and not depend on on actions taken...because then it can't have been "pre written" but just assumed, and the Native try through his/her "free Will" to fulfill the task without knowing it.....and if achieved, not given credit for it.


Freewill

God’s love created mortal man at sea
and gave him only a fine dragnet
but he swam ashore without fins
God became angry and in his rage
carried him to the topmost mountain
again man descended without wings

man now climbs molehills alone
and takes Icarus plunges home
but sustains mortal wounds
in the neck and in the heart
as the sun slowly melts his  wings
made of seashells and  lion hackles

Man, I salute your crafty freewill
but you must also be careful of height
and dizzy flights near abysmal pits
lest you get lost in the labyrinths
or sucked through the hole you dug
in the ozone layer to shield the sun

The Choice I Made

There is a certain subtle gourd
created by man and by God
shattered on the rocks of life
splintered into little choices
we all have to make in life

if brain design determines what's moral
you can change morality
by changing the brain
and once technology manipulates ethics
ethics can no longer judge technology

That’s why I chose the noble arts
the only truthful and sane lamp
to brighten the grim dark path
of the much touted science
from self destructive tendencies

the choice I made
shines never to fade

May be a philosophical answer, but there are a bunch of things that are available to you and you will have to choose what you need and what to use. God gives your destiny. You choose if you want to live by it or change it and live the way you want to be. As in life, things given to you will alway be behind you, similarly destiny will also be. You may have to learn how to avoid, accept or change it and minimize any risks later

We have no ideas to change our DESTINY, but we can change ourself to be more and more better.

As destiny is not a fixed state, the change in ourselves works to create the steps we take on our journey.  Destiny is that journey.

I agree with many of the writers who spoke of free will and choice, but would have to frame it in a different context.  I don't accept the foundational premise of a knowable destiny, so to answer the question would be hypocritical of me in that respect.
