Free Will vs Destiny

free will

the idea that we do everything voluntarily

the idea that destiny is a joke

the idea that what we do is what we intend to do

destiny

a suggestion of set things to occur in ones life

a suggestion that we have no control

a suggestion where free will does not exist

but

as humans we crave meaning

as humans we crave a reason

as humans we crave control

so

if free will leaves us to decide our meaning

if free will allows us to create a reason

if free will gives us total control

and yet

destiny leaves us to search for a meaning

destiny allows us to have a reason

destiny gives us little control

who is to say they contradict one another

who is to say you cannot have both

for as i see it

the two go hand in hand
