    Is there a future?
    I mean: are the things predetermined?
    Besides the celestial/Universal law (planets and stellar constelation), are small things on EARTH already determined?

    In another words: we know that tomorrow morning the Sun would raise, that new moon will appear exactly when it is due to, winters are going to be at the winter time, and not in Summer... etc. and that is predermined, but is it predetermined that I am going to pass the exam, to show up at work on time, to buy new car soon, to meet someone special soon, to win on lottery or not... etc??

    Or those little thigs are not predetermined and depend on who? Solely on us or on the other people too? Or who is the stronger?

    Any thoughts about this, please. Thank you.

    No people have free will, you determine your future to a point by the choices you make.

    I'm not going to get into the free will - vs- determination debate here but isn't your answer a bit contradictory? Your future is determined by previous CHOICES is in essence what you're saying? How can one that lacks free will make choices?
