<human>:  With regards to the philosophy of existentialism, why is it that a person’s life is not determined by fate?
<bot>: The answer is that the human mind has free will. Free will allows humans to make their own choices. If we are not free to choose our own actions, then our lives would be determined by fate. This is why the existentialists believe that we should not be afraid of death, because our lives are not determined by fate.
