Today I still don't know anything about fate and free will. What happens if I learn my fate and my fate changes? For example, in some greek story, a king learns his grandson will kill him, so he throw him into the sea in a chest. The grandson survives (of course) and grows up to be a great athlete. At some Olympics match many years later, he accidentally throws a discus into the crowd during discus throw and kills his grandfather. Now if the grandfather had never gone to see his fate, his grandson may have never killed him. Or the Oracle could have said something different that would have come true instead.
The hardest question I can't answer is what to do when I learn my fate. Should I accept it if it stinks? I know it would come true no matter what, but I might just change my life to a degree to where it does come true. Maybe the answer is in Harold Crick: I must accept my fate and be responsible for it. Or maybe there's no answer, and I'm a Govinda getting in my way of searching.
