So, what do you think? Do we have choices, or don't we? Is everything written?
We certainly try to control our lives, picking and choosing among the almost infinite number of paths we see ahead of us. We can hope that the choices we do make will lead us down the path we want, but there are no guarantees. There are too many random events which are beyond our control, or the control of anyone else, to accurately predict where any one choice will take us.

Is there a natural law or a cosmic law of consequence?
I guess the only law of consequence I would accept is my own, personal "faith":
If you ignore the laws of nature they'll eventually bite you in the ass.
