In the grand design, there is always what we perceive as free will. These are crossroads where decisions are made at the moment, for the moment, that set forth a course of events which affect a situation in the future. How it manifests or develops into an unexpected reality isn't as important as how we deal with it. Some accept the consequences of their actions while others do not. Our actions inevitably have an effect on someone else. Being conscious of this, when we choose to be impulsive or spontaneous, may prevent undesired outcomes in the unforeseen future.
