The most frustrating aspect of this life is the illusion of control, we think we had control but we never did, yet we actually do at the same time. Both are valid in the realm of reality. We believe we make our own choices which influence our outcomes, yet the way our world is engineered suggests otherwise. This dichotomy between free will and predestination is not a contradiction at all but a lethal coexistence, it tortures you with the illusion that you can change things or that you have control in your life yet in reality you are really stuck inside the high security maximum surveillance genetic prison. You can’t see those metal bars and prison guards which loom over your entire life everywhere you go but they ARE there.
Water is wet - Your life is determined by your genetics, environment and sequence of events, things that weren't in your control, but at the same time you still have a conscious decision that you make in every stage of your life, you can't say the boogyman did that for you, you MADE that decision out of your free will. You can't blame a particular external force for your choices, they are your choices and most of the times you consciously made that. However despite that, the motivations behind these decisions are influenced by prior events, indicating the coexistence of free will and predestiny.
It's not the media, (((them))) or any external entity deceiving us either, the mind was always been like this. We believe we have control because we can make free choices, despite those choices being influenced by our genetic makeup and life experiences. This duality suggests that while we can act according to our desires, our long-term path is predictable due to the pre-destiny nature of genetic determinism. Take this all on a bigger scale and apply it to our lives, after all - we exist in a civilisation with laws not isolated in a thick forest jungle. Our actions impact others, and their actions impact us, impairing absolute free will and absolute genetic determinism. As high or little as it may be. We didn't choose our genetics, environment, or the actions of others but you still do you.
What about luck? Although it is a minor occurrence, it must be accounted for and it doesn’t make any of this more complex, luck can be accommodated inside this model. Life cannot be predicted like a functional computer program or a basic statistical model, therefore there will be an element of luck in between events. Edge cases and outliers occur in life, but it only reiterates that things are out of our control. Both bad luck and good luck. “Bad” and “Good” luck being relative to your situation not necessarily having an overall god or bad situation. Luck doesn't follow any law and cannot be anticipated, and whilst it is observed at a minimal times, it reinforces the limits of our control hence can be attributed to pre-destiny, just because we can't predict or detect it doesn't mean it isn't an element of pre-destiny, understanding the nature of luck itself is a form of pre-destiny because you are accounting for the unknown - in both good and bad.
Therefore, by saying all this we don't truly have free will, but we do. Our conscious decisions are very real, even if they are influenced by predetermined factors they are still YOUR decisions, it may have forced your free will to be limited but you still had a choice, nobody forced you to pick something over another in those decisions. There are of course the glitters of luck that may be sprinkled throughout one's life.
Predestiny and free will are existing in the same space, and it makes our existence ever so much more frustrating.
