Choice

Relevant to a previous post. Choice is an interesting term - as a friend recently pointed out to me, we don't really have a choice, just a perception of it. The life, the path, the destination, are already determined for us. I am not so certain. If nothing else, it surely takes away the perception of control we have over our lives. If we are not in control of our path and eventually our destination, what cause does any divinity have to reprimand us for the wrong 'choices' we make?
