T, I simply do not believe that anything in this world is pre-determined.  When I next eat, relieve myself, go to town for supplies, go to bed, wrie an article and just about anything else I do is not pre-determined.  Though certainly their will be certain pressures to do all of those things within a given time-frame, it is nevertheless my own free will which determines exactly when and how I do them.

Seeking internal wisdom and meaning and learning from external masters large and small can greatly help shape how I exercise my free will in the things that I do, can even help determine what "roles" I play.  But I nor anyone else is a robot, and free will always plays a part.

Our world is not ordered and predetermined.  It may be cyclical but chance and uncertainty loom large in a universe that continually validates Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.  When it comes to society itself, no matter how many forces may be allied to attempt to shape events, free will is always a wild card and often the determinant.
