I was talking to a friend and he asked me if i believed in free will, I said yes. He asked me if i believed in fate, and i said yes. Then he said, you can't believe in both free will and fate, it's contradictory. So does it matter what we choose? In my opinion, it depends on the types of choices we make and big the choices are. For example, it matters what choices we make for little decisions that immediately affect us, like what we eat or what time we choose to sleep. However when choices and the results are bigger than just are individual decisions, like the election, I think it matters to ourself which choices we make and if we really believe in those choices. However because the population is so big that it does not really matter if I voted for Obama/ McCain, becuase even though they say one vote can change everything, the chances of one vote making the final decision is rather slim.
