Richard asked:

Q1. Does destiny control or decide one`s future?

If yes does it imply that man has no free will to decide his future?

Q2. Fate and a curse do they coexist to destine man?

============

Unless proof is provided whether our lifes/ futures are controlled by destiny, to believe in destiny is
just a belief, not philosophy. Free will according to some is not incompatible with destiny whereas
others see it as a contradiction. If you believe in fate then again it would depend on your belief
whether that is compatible with the concept of blessing and cursing someone having effect on that
person's life. Some would say that it is incompatible with the concept of an all-good all-powerful God
to allow curses to work.
