»Choice?«

Hey, a big question that I think cannot actually be answered, but lets see what replys come up.

Is Choice Really Choice If Fate Exists?

What is your definition of fate?

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act - Buddha(?)

Something that cannot be changed.

Like.... every step in my life is predestined?

Yes, if it is destiny. The there is nothing you can do to change it. So does it matter what choices you make?

How about... the end is predestined, but not the path...?

But it is not just the "end" it is also the path. When you decided to switch on your computer to come to this forum, you came to this forum because yo had to reply to this topic. I belive the real question is Why?

Why? Why do certain things happen to us?

Causality.
But I do not necessarily see an inevitable link between causality and fate as in every step being predestined.
Causality is what leads up to the moment that you make a choice. But WHAT choice you make,...heavily influences the further path.
So, even within the chain of causality, you can have an active, a constitutive, part.
