Everything in this life has an antecedent preceding it. Think of any particular thought or activity that you've engaged in today, and then think back to what could've lead you to think or act in that manner. We are only ever a few short events away from any given situation...it's all a matter of what path you choose to take. But, what if antecedents have already laid that path out for us? What if the choices are there, but they've already been made for us due to previous events?
