Which do you believe

[shift]

I also think that we are the owners, and the prisoners, of our own decisions (I think this was a quote by someone). But life has many variables, and reality is made by a lot of things apart from yourself, so your decision making can be and already is conditioned or altered by external factors (the accidents already mentioned).

Anyway, I also think that we have some kind of inertia in our lives, maybe I wouldn\'t call it destiny, but some kind of preset path that you follow unconsciously, probably set by who you are and what\'s your environment. Although, you still have the ability to drive away from that preset road, maybe following a parallel one or even a tangential one, as long as you believe in yourself and are trust to what you really are (or you think you can be).

So, yes to both.
