I found this question interesting because it is a question I ask myself often. In my experience, it is quite clear that our decisions affect our fates. In fact, as George Elliot said, "The strongest principle of growth lies in human choices."All the choices a person makes will affect his or her life sooner or later, in ways great and small. Some choices might be life changing, while others are ordinary day-to-day decisions. For example, in the book, "The Fighting Ground," Jonathan decides to go to war. His moment of decision is captured in the following passage (page 10):
"And even as he stood there, unsure what to do, the bell resumed its vibrant call. He could go home or to the tavern...'Do it!' he told himself. 'Go and fight.' "
I think that this is a life changing decision for Jonathan, and I predict that his opinions about war and life will be changed forever because of the choice he has made. Although our own choices are rarely as dramatic as the example shown above, they may still affect our fates in dramatic ways.
