This didn´t help me though but thanks for trying. I understand that I myself is a cause and that my choices are the effects of that cause. And I also understand the argument that "myself" is something created of many things outside of myself, in harmony with the laws of physics. My argument for destiny still stands though. If determinism is how you explain choice and will (free will is just a pointless word I think) I understand that. But then you have to agree that my argument is valid right?

This was bound to happen, and even if it wasn´t, there was nothing anyone could do about it anyway, since the universe made this situation up.

Meaning that what anyone actually did about something was predetermined by many factors that we don´t know all of.
