Every event has a cause, and free actions are possible. However, these beliefs are not necessarily compatible. Understanding such concepts as cause and effect is needed to comprehend how this world functions. We assume that every happens because of a specific reason and that the effects of that event can be traced back to the cause. In destiny, predestination and free will intertwine and equally influence the course of our evolution—something we cannot avoid and change by our will and understanding. In fact, predetermination and freedom of choice are not mutually exclusive but perfectly complement each other. I believe that every phenomenon in nature, every event in our lives, is a natural consequence of a specific reason – what happened or what we did before.
At the same time, free actions are possible. In other words, we have the ability to act independently of any outside forces. This belief is based on the idea that people are free to make all of their decisions. Our environment or circumstances do not solely determine them. While these two beliefs can co-exist, they do not necessarily have to be compatible. While it is true that every event has a cause, this cause is only sometimes clear. We may not know what led to an event, or we may not be able to trace the event’s origin back to its cause. Likewise, while we can make our own decisions, our environment and circumstances may still influence our decisions. For example, we may not be able to choose a course of action if we lack the resources or knowledge to do so. Therefore, every our thought, action, or reaction to an event becomes a cause that generates new consequences, new actions, and new events.
In conclusion, every event has a cause, and free actions are possible. However, these beliefs are not necessarily compatible. While they can co-exist, the cause of an event may not always be clear, and our environment or circumstances may still influence our decisions.
