Post #1: Fate in Romeo and Juliet

I do not believe in fate for many reasons. I think that people have total control over their own destiny. For example, in Romeo and Juliet they don't even know each other at the start and even Romeo likes someone else. But, after Romeo makes decisions on his own, he realizes that he likes Juliet. He ended up falling in love with Juliet because he made his own choices and not fate. He was basically under his own free will so that means he made his own decisions. That is one reason why I do not believe in fate.

Another reason I don't believe in fate is because it is possible for people to make their own choices in life. For example, I can make my own choices under my own freewill.  If I chose not to write this blog, I would be making my own decision, which is not fate. (That would not be a good choice, though). So that means that making your own choices is possible, and I do not think fate exists. Because Romeo and Juliet make their own choices, it is not fate, and they are under their own freewill. That is why I do not believe in fate.
