Oedipus

Fate is determined by the humans own decision, therefore all humans have their own free will. A persons decisionsof his or her act will choose what the consequence for them will be fate is not decided by someone else before the act has been made. If that were so then anything and everything that can occur in someone's life has been determined and how is that possible by an unknown power. If someone were to commit some sort of crime no one can have what his/her sentence will be ahead of time. Also when a person makes a choice they are also accepting what the consequences of the choice will be. Freewill determines the outcome of someone's life, because there is no one higher than any person that will be able to choose the outcomes of that persons decisions ahead of time.
