Fate is an intresting thing. We all reach those crossroads eventually, even me. But what is fate and how does it affect us? Some believe that fate runs our lives like we are puppets on a string, but this is not true. Fate is a correction mechanism the gods constructed to make vital events happen when they are supposed to happen. But this only applies to the crucial moments.
The moments that NEED to happen to keep everything balanced. All the other moments are subject to free will. But how does one know what is a moment of fate and a moment of free will? It is the moment you are no longer able to turn back.
