Free will, the - of humans lets them to decide their future

When we see the state of the world today, we tell ourselves the worst may yet happen: nuclear war, epidemics, famines, natural disasters, and so on, capable of bringing an end to humankind. But events are never absolutely certain, for they can take quite a different course, depending on human beings' behaviour. Nothing is predetermined and there is no fixed destiny, whether it be for an individual or for the world as a whole. When God created humans, he gave them free will, and they determine their own future. If they live without awareness and lead a dissolute life, they unleash chaotic currents and then of course, the laws of nature, which are the laws of justice, will lead them to their loss; it is purely mathematical. But if they think about the consequences of their actions, if they make wise decisions, if they radiate harmonious energy and no longer disturb the balance of nature, many tragedies will be avoided.
