Fate vs. Free Will

Free will is only what we make it to be therefore it really does not exist. "The creatures were friendly, and could see in four dimensions. They pitied Earthlings for being able to only see three. They had many things to teach Earthlings especially about time." (page 33) Because the Tralfamadorians could see in four dimensions their outlook on things were altered and to them, we humans look more like centipedes. When they look at a person they see "legs of ones life time." It's hard to explain or put into words, but they see several of our heads, like they see one as a baby, on as a toddler, one as a teen... get the picture?

Because they can see a human's whole life time with one glance, free will does not and will not ever exist. Billy Pilgrim does not have free will because he time travels around his life time and knows, understands, and relives his death.
Fate vs. free will is a very strong and/or confusing statement. Humans don't really have much choice to choose our fate, and free will is all about choosing what way you to go. If there was no fate then here would be loads of free will.
