Fate – some believe in it, others do not. Ever since the beginning of time, prophecies have been passed down from the gods to oracles – these messages were worshipped and fate was always seen as fact, something that cannot be avoided. In the play, “Oedipus the King”, fate is shown to be the underlying reason for why Oedipus becomes victim to events that he cannot control.

their aims of being free also make decisions that make them responsible of the consequences. For one to make a choice, he or she must bear the responsibility, and this is the heavy burden we carry to define our existence. Being free does not stand alone as it requires us to be responsible of each decision taken in life, because no one is going to look back for us.

The ability one has to determine their own fate may be justified by his ability to foresee the repercussions of his actions. However, in the case of the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare clearly states at the beginning of the play that the two star-crossed lovers would die by taking their own lives. Even if Romeo and Juliet wanted to run away and make their own fate, Shakespeare's foreshadowed destiny would prevail in making Romeo and Juliet take their own lives. Shakespeare showed the power of
unhappiness, pleasant and unpleasant experiences? In other words, it’s dealing with cause and effect. Karma is necessarily impacted by the fact that human beings have free will and the ability to change their karmic directions in the future if we are good. Karma is a law of cause and effect. Every action leaves an imprint. The only way to free
How important is the role of choice (re: freedom) when we consider the idea of individuality? What if a person chooses the kind of happiness as created and maintained in Brave New World? Is this the kind of happiness we are in fact choosing nowadays? Are we more willing to sacrifice our individuality for the sake of stability (re: collective, or job security) and happiness? What are you willing to sacrifice in order to be happy? Recall that in Brave New World, religion, history, art, family, and
