10 are aware of things being true or false. Based on this we can make judgments and
plan action based on those judgments and it is free will. According to Young 1991 : 5 when we operate from free will, there is something between our

2.2.1. Free Will
Acccording to Landau 2005 : 283 Free Will in man, is the power of self – determination; the capacity to choose among alternatives
or to act in certain situation independently or natural, social, or divine restraint. Free will is denied by those who expose of various forms of
determinism. Argument for free will are based on subjective experience of freedom, of responsibility for personal actions that underlines the concept
of lows, rewards, punishments and incentives. Free will implies choice and it means that we can act. Leslie said 1983 : 36 when people believe

something before. Some people say fate brings us together and kit may also control our lives.
The concept of fate is sometimes used to denote a person’s path in live, not necessarily determined by any one person or thing but the
outcome of a combination of the necessary, the accidental, the spontaneous, and the concious in human live. Acoording to Malraux

character acquired during life. And according to Petulo 1987 : 16 fate is the resultant of the past exercise of people’s free will. By exercising
