Are we in control of our lives?

Maybe, when you look at this, you try make sense of what I am writing. Some of you might think that i am writing out of sense but maybe some of you can relate to what I am about to write. Everyday, Every hour, every minute and every second, we do our daily day to day activities. But do we truly understand why we are given the opportunity to do so? Haven't you wonder the reason why you are where you are? Doesn't it give you the slightest fear that we are not in control of what we will become? Do we simply just act the way live revolves around us and not us revolving around them. Are our daily activities simply just a preconceived notion of something that has already been determined by a higher authority figure of the universe? Maybe. If so, are we judge by our actions? Do our choices determines who we become? Can we become someone that others are proud of? But the underlying question is that why are given the choice to live? To breathe? To feel? Or is everything just an illusion, something that could be a dream that we can just simply be awake of one day and realize, its not our lives anymore that we are living, instead its someone else's.
