Do you believe in fatalism or free will?

[SorenVC]

I would like to call myself a fatalist because for me it is a lot easier to live my life being a fatalist than to believe in free will but I think the majority thinks the opposite. I've been let down too many times to think it was my own failure or someone else's free will. Now I believe in fate or destiny. It is so much simpler to let go of your need to control and just be lazy or happy. After all, you can still workout and do the things you like and not become ultra lazy by being a fatalist. For me I am a very anxious and nervous or timid person and I observe too much and overanalyze. That's why I simply prefer fatalism because it eases my mind. It is like alcohol for my mind it calms me down. It is a peaceful feeling to believe in fatalism. Back in the day I would prefer free will but at this point I kinda dislike it.

After all there is only one best option and the other options are worse. So free will is the choice to choose a worse option than the best one. If you had great vision you would always choose the best option but you can't because your eyes and being are not perfect. If you could choose between chocolate and fried eggs in the morning you would choose fried eggs because they are healthy but you could also choose chocolate because sometimes in the morning you desire chocolate more than any other food. In my opinion this is fatalism and not free will and I simply dislike free will. I understand neither free will nor fatalism can ever be proven so I don't know the truth. But what I like about fatalism is that it doesn't force you to do anything. It doesn't force you to struggle or learn or change yourself, it just accepts what is and that for me is peace.

This compatibilism or determinism I have never understood. For me there is either free will or full fatalism. There can be nothing in between. Maybe a restricted free will okay, but why call this compatibilism or determinism. It makes no sense to me. Fatalism is the belief in fate or destiny and that you can't change anything and what you will do, you will do. And if you change yourself for the better or worse, that it wasn't a choice or free will, it was meant to happen. Free will is the belief in magic. What is your choice?
