Belief in destiny provides us with back-end logic to arbitrarily occurring events. It absolves us of our contribution to failure or with having to deal with `effort to outcome' incongruence. Belief in the preordained would be a discredit to evolution. It would discount phenomenal human endeavour that has shone through the darkest clouds of despondence.Has free will given us the power of adaptation? Adaptation delves into the deepest recesses of creativity . Overcoming adversity stimulates growth and development. Failure lures the weak to succumb to fatalism for it is convenient to give in to passive submission.
Free will can empower. It provides us with the freedom to spread our wings; to endeav our to soar in the vast skies of achievement, to experience, grow, create. The in domitability of the human spirit has nurtured evolution and helped us overcome our limitations.
Facing situations squarely requires a realistic appraisal of the problem and assessing the entire spectrum of available options diligently . Assigning cosmic design or inevitability to events is defeatist. Evolution of the human brain has provided us with the power of intelligence and discrimination.
We can prevail over our hormones, instincts and beliefs.Free will is also a double-edged weapon that can breed fear and doubt. The flower doesn't need anyone to predict its blossoming. The hatchling is oblivious to speculation of its flight.
Free will gives the freedom to alter and manipulate inputs. It doesn't empower us with control over the outcomes. Certainty shackles and stifles spontaneity . Uncertainty liberates.
