How can we know if we really are making the choice? It is impossibly to know whether you're making a choice. Things just happen and you can't know who's in charge. You just have live your life. It's better if you don't question who's in charge because there's no way to know, and you'll dig yourself into a deep pit or questions.

How are we to live our lives with these unknowns and uncertainties? Everyone has to just make their own way through life. You have to just assume horrible things wont happen, or you will end up living your life as a hermit or be unhappy.

Do we really know who we are and what our role is in the world? You start your life figuring out everything around you. As you grow older you start figuring out what you want to do in life and what you want to do. Eventually you figure out what your role in life is, just by living your own life. Harold thought he know who he was, just an average man who didn't have much going for him. Until one day when things he did started to become narrated. From that moment on, I think that his role in life changed and started to become a different person with a new role.

complete freewill, destiny and determinism.

complete freewill, destiny and determinism.

I don't believe in destiny, it's slightly ridiculous to think that you don't have control over anything that happens during your life. Destiny, to me, seems to be an excuse for not trying. I think that free will and "determinism" are very closely related and affect each other. You're environment can severely limit your options, or expand them. What you do with the your available resources is your free will.
