Are we puppets controlled by the hands of fate?

Simply, do you believe in fate/destiny?Are we puppets controlled by the hands of fate?
At one time, I did. But now come to think of it, life is what we make of it and is largely based on the decisions that we make that will ultimately decides what situation we will have put ourselves through.





True story.





I had a friend that passed away a few years ago leaving behind his loving wife and three young children. He didn't have to and it didn't have to happen if he would have chosen not to put himself through that sort of risk. He had a passion for riding his sport cycle, but sometimes his passion was way over his head and too much to the point where he will break the law by speeding way over the posted speed limit, and would usually leave the rest of us, his biker buddies behind.





Sadly, he t-boned a car that pulled in front of him one evening and was instantly killed.





The moral of the story is that he didn't have to go. It was not his fate nor his destiny, but merely his decision to be a risk-taker knowing the danger of speeding all along. He has had a few close calls in the past before the incident that led up to his death, but yet still insists on over-speeding whenever he rides his bike.





Well, at least he died doing what he loves most. Gotta give him that much.Are we puppets controlled by the hands of fate?
No if that was the case then why have we developed the way we have if every thing was predestined we would not need to think or do anything we could just sit still %26amp; let everything come to us.there would be no point in being here
