Do you believe?
I think that my live is governed by determinism. Because my believe is not being influenced by a higher being, determinism best applies to me. My future is governed by my DNA and my environment. My DNA will determine which illnesses I will most probably get, and what I will look like. My environment will determine where I go school, where to college, and where I will most probably live in the future. A situation in which freewill, destiny, ad determinism could all coexist would be if someone's live style would be changed dramatically. For example, if a working class or middle class family were to win the lottery, determinism would still govern which gene-related illnesses the people would get. But they would then have the freewill to send their children to the school or college of their choice, or live where they wanted to. At the same time, destiny might still govern their lives, if it was their destiny to win the lottery. As shown by my example, it is possible for all three to coexist at the same time, though it is more likely for them to override each other.

10/10...I wish I could win the lottery, but in some ways, winning seems a bit scary,
too.
