Essay 3 rewrite

I believe that my life is determined by fate. My upbringing in a Christian church was much of the influence to make me believe this way. In the film "The Matrix" both freewill and fate is portrayed. The Oracle possesses the gift of prevision. She was used as a guild from all of the members (Nebuchadnezzar) after making the decision of the red pill. As told in the movie Morpheus took each one to see the Oracle to advise them on their battle with the fictional universe the matrix. In the scene when Morpheus takes Neo to see the Oracle, she knew that he was going to break the vase before he even did it. It was very much questionable how she knew that was going to occur. The Oracle also gave Neo bad news that he was not the one,"Sorry kid maybe in another life" she said it callus and went on explaining how Morpheus would sacrifice his life for him for the fact he believed Neo is the one. If life wasn't based on fate how would she have known that he was going to drop the vase as well as know at the moment he wasn't the one. Even though the Oracles predictions were very vague the course of events did occur and were true.
Fate cannot be avoided. What is meant to happen will happen. Sited on page91 in "The Matrix and Philosophy" Philosopher Richard Taylor states that "certain events will occur regardless of what other events occur." I find that in comparison to the ancient Greek King Oedipus. Oedipus' life was prophesied by an Oracle who said he would kill his father and marry his mother. To avoid his fate from coming true he moved from the city in which he lived. In the end what was prophesied still came true. Both the Oracle in "The Matrix" and the ancient Greek Oracle at Delphi had the power of foresight, which makes it unavoidable for one to change their own destiny whether they believe it or not. Referring back to the movie, when the Oracle tells Neo he's not the one maybe in another life; we were unaware of the symbolism in what she says. Later on in the movie we see how Neo dies but is resurrected by Trinity's kiss, it is there when he accepts or knows that he is the ONE. Every event that occurred in"The Matrix" is affiliated with fate. The choosing of the red or blue pill is also ironically tied to freewill and fate. When Morpheus asks Neo to choose whether the red pill, finding out the truth or take the blue pill and having life remain the same, plays as the same role. Choosing the red pill corresponds to fate as does the blue pill to freewill. By taking the blue pill life doesn't change in any form it remains the way you've always lived it free willingly, and by taking the red pill is risking knowing or finding the truth even if it is an unpleasant fate.
Even though some think they go about living a freewill life,there is a cause and effect to every choice that is made. We are given choices in life but in the end i believe that certain circumstances are assured. Concluding we have no control over our destiny, life is predetermined regardless of our choices.
