UNIVERSALISM AND FREE WILL

They worry that if universalism is true, we have no free will–and that therefor life is meaningless.  But they are wrong.  In universalism, it is assured that each of us shall arrive at heaven; but perhaps how and when we get there is up to us.  In that is the story of each of us, our meaning.  One may watch a play knowing it is a comedy or a tragedy, and therefor knowing that certain important things about the end are inevitable.  Does that make the play meaningless?  Does it spoil it for us?  Indeed, perhaps the inevitability of a certain kind of ending is the very thing that gives the rest of the play its meaning.
