But the idea is not that fate is "pre-written", it is that it is pre-done. You're a Matrix fan, Menelien, so think to the scene in Reloaded wherein Neo is talking to the Oracle on a bench. That conversation deals with much of the same discussion as this thread. We are destined to choose, and while choices in reality are never nearly as focused as Neo's, they do have effects on others, and are led up to in much the same fashion.
