Do we really choose our lives???

Question

Yes?
Than haw fortune-tellers can c our future; things, events we get 2 know sometimes in 5, 10 years time? They even can tell us haw and when we going to die.
If one hasn’t been born in certain family, in certain city, in certain time, in certain area... he would think, behave, live life differently. He would be more kind..or less, more emotionally strong, less artistic... Because every little thing happen with us change out way of thinking, character, behaviour, so we can't say that what we are - is pure we and what we choose – entirely our choice or its just bits and pieces of films, books, friends lives, family and teacher lessons...
Say if 1 was more mentally, physically stronger from birth and had parents who were kinder, more clever, more rich, better educated friends (we cant choose these)...he would have become better person without as much sins in his life. And after death would go to heaven (or smth). Do we really choose our lives? No? Then why do we "go" to heaven or hell after death because of some circumstances which make us do things not choose them?

Answer 1

our mentality and intentions would be the same .. and certain aspects of our personality ..

we are very influenced by our environment

------

Being physically stronger .. or having parents that were evil or kind .. being rich or being poor has NOTHING to do with being a *good person* or a *bad person*

Just b/c someone is rich doesn't mean they are a good person .. or vise verse

Answer 2

Fortune-tellers don't "see" the future. They practice the art of cold reading and make an unwary target very susceptible to suggestion.

Life isn't fair. You take what you get and make the most of it. If you're overly concerned about some mythological afterlife, you're missing life itself.
