is karmic destiny the antithesis of free will

It may not interest anyone else but the above question interests me. I believe all beings come into this world to advance towards their destiny. We can freely choose detours along the path to our destiny, delaying, prolonging, procrastinating. Ultimately, however, I believe, and beliefs are not any more real than anything else, and certainly not accurate, that we don't have genuine free will. Temporary free will, maybe. Detour from our path free will, probably.

Ultimately, our destinies are our destinies and we cannot use free will to avoid them forever.  Only to delay them.
