Harold Crick is caught up in his fate. The question is if he throws caution to the wind and fights for his life, will he live? I believe Harold did change his fate. Harold made the choice to chase down his "murderer" and encourage her to not kill him! With that being said, Harold is.... fictional. How am I to know if i can change my fate? Sadly, I do not get progress reports regarding my fate. Fate progress reports. That sound contradictory, no? I believe we have some form of control, but in the end we may never know how far our choices got us.
Harold is a complex character. In the beginning he is set in his routine, a routine that is wasting his life, yet he is unaware of it. I believe, in the long run, Harold's fate was to actually have a life worth living for. So, when thinking about the uncertainties of fate, maybe we need to trust the uncertainty of fate because who's to know if fate is trying to kill us or save our sad excuse of a life.
We have as much freedom to choose our fate as we have to chose house paint. I think the big idea is where does that color lead us. Fate is all tied together, all connected. Making a choice in your life could greatly affect some random guy, on the couch, 7 states away. I believe we have the freedom to make choices, but maybe that is just fate agreeing with your choices.
p.s. my head hurts
