Every individual can only hear whats going on around them-whats in their particular audio range. Right now I hear computer whirring, kids talking, seemingly insignificant noise. What would happen however, if we could hear what everyone hears, all at once? Maybe if God looks down on earth he can hear all of the noise at once. I think it would sound like music. The song we are playing is already written-we are just the fingers on the keyboard, playing the song. The song's title is Fate. We might mess up and hit the wrong key every once in a while, but we're still playing the same song. It is still going in the same direction. There are choruses that repeat themselves, because we can never seem to learn from our past. We have enough free will to play our own instrument and even make those mistakes, but we don't have the choice to rewrite the song. It is written. And we are always playing it. What we do affects everyone else and we can't silence that harmony. We are each a single note and we can't change the overall sound, but we can affect it. We don't know or have the power to know what is going to happen next. The trombone section may make an ugly sound, we might drop our flute all together, but what is going to happen next IS already known, because the song is written, and always has been.

At first I absolutely only believed in free will. To me freewill was all about one taking responsibility for his or her own actions. But after reading your blog, I see fate as being more than just for the "dreamers." Maybe life is more than one making all the decisions. Could there possibly be some other higher spirit or whatever it may be, also making some changes in one's life? Maybe freewill and fate go hand-in-hand...?
