Free will and Karma

Man makes choices every day,every minute and every second be it in his profession,home or other matters.The decision tree that emerges from the choices determines his status.There could be several factors that influence each of his choices like his desires,ambitions,goals, a priori understanding of the world around him and last but not least his lineage.If one believes that every man is born with a unique set of desires,a lineage and a capacity to grasp things around him,is there not a certain sense of inevitability and predestination in his decision making?

I believe predestiny or Karma is a 'fait accompli' of the given set of conditions a man is born into that affects his decision making rather than predestined future outcomes of which he is incapable of knowing.
